The bear market has largely impacted the NFT market. For the first time in the history of NFTs, trading-related activities are no longer profitable. Despite a complicated economic context, NFTs continue to surprise, and we observe some strong trends around Metaverses and Utilities over the period, which tends to revitalize the markets.

With speculation in a tailspin, it looks like the industry has once again entered a building phase, away from the spotlight.

A massive 25% drop was observed in terms of USD traded between Q1 and Q2 2022 with a global volume of about US$8 billion in Q2 2022.

A net profit of US$460M is recorded over Q2 2022, a significant decrease compared to Q1 2022 (US$2.3B).

Secondary market remains predominant with almost 80% of the volume of USD traded, in the meantime, primary market has constantly decreased over the period.

A 46% decrease in profit at resell is observed during the period, for a total loss that increased by 23% (US$1.8 billion profit for US$1.4 billion loss).

The market is more centralized than ever: More than 30% of the volume of USD traded over the quarter is distributed between projects that have been launched or acquired by Yuga Labs.

Quarterly NFT Market Report

The incredible enthusiasm for NFTs led to tremendous growth of the NFT industry in 2021. The early days of 2022 mark a new era for NFTs, with many changes to the market.
Are we facing a bubble on the verge of bursting? Are the NFTs markets holding up despite the tense geopolitical situation surrounding the war in Ukraine?
The Q1 Quarterly Report 2022 presents the first detailed figures on the reality of NFTs markets.
This quarter, we had the chance to interview Shaban Shaame, a pioneer of Blockchain Gaming since 2014, who shares his vision and thoughts on the state of the industry.

Collectibles are the predominant segment in the industry, far ahead of Art or even the Metaverses.

The general public seems to be losing interest in NFTs, if the search volume on Google is to be believed.

For the first time, some segments show a negative balance: Gaming shows a total loss of almost $50 million on the segment, which makes it the least profitable segment of the industry from a trading point of view.

The resale profit volume is down 3% while the total loss volume is up nearly 50% compared to the previous quarter.

Q1 Report 2022

With nearly $8 billion traded in the first quarter of 2022, the market cannot really be considered to have collapsed. We are seeing more of a form of stabilization, in line with the last quarter of 2021.
Conversely, the volume of sales fell by nearly 50%, with a very marked slowdown in the volume of buyers and sellers.
The great novelty of this quarter is undoubtedly the evolution of profitability in the markets. Making a profit in NFTs is no longer so easy in 2022...

Every year since 2018, NonFungible.com publishes “Yearly NFT Market Report” which remains to date the most in-depth and comprehensive piece of research about the NFT Industry.

These reports are designed for curious newcomers as well as experienced investors.

Collectibles is probably the segment that is running out of steam in favor of Metaverses and Blockchain Gaming.

With over $5 billion in profit recorded in NFT trading, speculation is an integral part of this market. But this is a more complex activity than it seems...

Markets gradually became saturated with the issuance of millions of new NFTs. How have the markets reacted to this unbridled multiplication of assets?

The market boomed to over $15 billion for nearly 2 million active wallets.

Yearly Report 2021

"NFT" was declared word of the year 2021. This is not surprising given the exponential growth of the industry. Between unprecedented opportunities, excessive speculation and new economic models: where are we?

The 200 pages, 70 metrics and 15 interviews of this report have been designed to give you the most complete and up-to-date overview of the different facets of the NFT industry.



Yearly NFT Market Report

Data doesn’t lie, at NonFungible we analyze it and make the complex simple and freely accessible for everyone.

Our Q3 Report looks into Non-Fungible Token trends on the Ethereum chain. We use our data to provide an in depth analysis of the market backed with charts and analytics.

Q3 of 2021 broke the $billion threshold by a long way, with almost $6 billion traded on the Ethereum blockchain alone. All indicators continue to show an upwards trend, with the number of wallets in use of both buyers and sellers increasing significantly.

Record USD volume for NFT sales

Unsurprisingly, the collectibles segment generated the most USD volume this quarter, undoubtedly stemming from PFP hype but also from the continual increase in the price of CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club.

Market Distribution

Q3 Report 2021

The recent growth of the NFT industry has been almost unbelievable. In just a few short months, the $billion-dollar mark has been crossed in traded NFTs, followed by $billion per quarter and only then to be surpassed by $billion per month.

The market we see evolving today is a market that is growing at an exponential rate, with unprecedented liquidity but it is also even more of a speculative and volatile market than ever before.

The current market growth dictates that all investors and NFT stakeholders should pay extra attention as Triple-digit growth goes hand in hand with market instability, unrealistic expectations and potential disappointments.

Data doesn’t lie. At NonFungible we analyze it and make the complex simple and freely accessible for everyone.

The NFT Market has been in full craze mode since the start of the year. We have witnessed multi-million-dollar sales almost every week with new projects announced each day, copycats are being created from copycats.

There are numerous NFT projects, with dozens of new promising ones popping up everyday. Sometimes, because of misleading marketing campaigns or inflated market volumes, it may be complicated to truly identify what is a promising project and what is not.

You have probably read on a lot of related websites that you should “DYOR” or “Do Your Own Research” before purchasing any asset, but where should you start and what is the right criteria? This section is intended to help you drive forward your own due diligence before investing into any NFT project or purchasing an asset.

As the NFT ecosystem is already extremely broad, from Art to Gaming and Metaverses, the due diligence process is necessarily different depending on the particular asset type.

What to check before buying an NFT?

As mentioned earlier, the objective of our work in this report is to help everyone gain autonomy in their analysis of the NFT Markets, with the right tools and the necessary knowledge.

Before going into further detail in this section, we must return to the assumption which is at the origin of our research work: "There is Wash Trading in the NFT Market". In order to validate this hypothesis and to succeed in quantifying Wash Trading, it is first necessary to identify in what form this Wash Trading takes place, how to recognize it and what reasonable doubts lead us to consider this or that transaction is an illegitimate one.

Is there wash trading in NFT markets?

Good Practices guide

We have always done our best to help the NFT industry remain as healthy and transparent as possible. In recent years, we have published several articles* on the risks and abuses within the ecosystem** in an effort to raise awareness among the various stakeholders. This year, we have decided to go even further and publish a comprehensive report which covers the good practices of Due Diligence in Wash Trading.

The purpose behind this report can be divided into five objectives:<ol><li>To make the NFT world a healthier place for everyone.</li><li>Bring further transparency and honesty to the booming NFT Markets.</li><li>Reduce the volume of suspicious transactions.</li><li>Ensure the long-term sustainability of this market.</li><li>Promote individual responsibility, i.e: Do Your Own Research “DYOR”, Due Diligence, community whistleblowing etc...</li></ol>


<p>Do you like the internet, cats, and blockchain? So you must have heard of a pioneer of the non-fungible tokens:<a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> CryptoKitties</a>. If not, the game’s concept is pretty simple: buy, breed and resell virtual kitties. </p>



<p>Each cat has attributes and their fusion makes it possible to obtain new, exclusive and cute cats. Really cute ones.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="236" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-fancies.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1430" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-fancies.png 800w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-fancies-300x89.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-fancies-768x227.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption><em>Some fancy Cryptokitties</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Despite the limited gameplay, these little kitties had great success everywhere on the blockchain and that’s how they marked their territory. Even if their long history passionated the whole crypto-sphere, today some pretend that their influence doesn’t go as far as before, and some others support the opposite.</p>



<p>So I did some research and according to the <a href="https://assets.coingecko.com/reports/2018-Full-Year-Report/2018-CoinGecko-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coingecko</a> and <a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2018/en/yearly-nft-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NonFungible.com</a> reports, I tried to answer the following questions :</p>



<ul><li>Why was it so expensive at the beginning of the game?</li><li>How the game evolved?</li><li>Do kitties still rule the internet?</li></ul>



<p>I wanted to share with you my analysis about the different charts from these two reports and I discovered a much more complex reality hidden behind these cute little faces. More complex than just exchanging kitties.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="423" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-marblecard.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1431" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-marblecard.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-marblecard-213x300.png 213w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<h2>Context of the NFT market</h2>



<p>Their cuteness’ success from late 2017 &#8211; early 2018 caught everyone off-guard because of the collector prices. Everyone wanted their CryptoKitty, everyone wanted their little fragment of Ethereum, transactions went on and on, and gas prices hit the moon.</p>



<p>Remember, we are on January 6th, 2018, Ethereum can be bought at around $1000 and the average Gwei is at around 90 (with a peak at 40,000).</p>



<p>So what does that mean in the game? Let’s take for example the “Breed” action (this action makes you… breed two kitties to create a new one). You’ll need 119,000 Gas (250,000 at maximum) to complete the transaction and pay 0.008 Eth for CryptoKitties’ fee.</p>



<p>Multiply the result with the average price of gas, the cost of this task will have cost you $18. And as we’re speaking only with an average price, it will take hours or even days for your NFT to get in your wallet.</p>



<p>119,000 x 90 Gwei = 119,000 x 0.00000009 = 0.01071 ETH</p>



<p>And if you were in a rush to have your baby cat:</p>



<p>250,000 x 40,000 Gwei = 250,000 x 0.00004 = 10 ETH</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="396" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/gas-prices.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1432" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/gas-prices.png 800w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/gas-prices-300x149.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/gas-prices-768x380.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption><em>Average gas and ethereum price</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>This was a time were transactions were slow and expensive, but somehow, CryptoKitties reached the peak of popularity in this period. What CryptoKitties really succeeded in was to popularize non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and highlight their unique selling properties.</p>



<p>Moreover, dozens of media (in crypto and more) wrote about the 10-15% blockchain’s obstruction caused by CryptoKitties but since it was one of the only intuitive and easy-to-use blockchain-games available on the market, this promotion made them the leader of this new emerging market.</p>



<h2>Evolution of the NFT market</h2>



<p>This is where the interesting part begins: few months later, the public lost much interest in crypto-currencies but NFT succeeded simultaneously, a lot more attention for those who wanted to keep the adventure going in another way than speculation.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="352" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-weekly-transactions.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1433" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-weekly-transactions.png 800w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-weekly-transactions-300x132.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-weekly-transactions-768x338.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption><em>Weekly volume of transaction</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>If you compare the transaction’s volume (average of 87,500 for CryptoKitties) per week over 2018 with the userbase’s evolution and the number of active addresses, we are forced to admit that the game is still active and more than a hype effect, <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market/history/cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoKitties </a>achieve to rank itself as “historical”.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/userbase-evolution.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1911" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/userbase-evolution.png 800w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/userbase-evolution-300x169.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/userbase-evolution-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption><em>User base evolution</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="800" height="422" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/nonfungible-and-coingecko-2018-q3-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1434" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/nonfungible-and-coingecko-2018-q3-1.png 800w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/nonfungible-and-coingecko-2018-q3-1-300x158.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/nonfungible-and-coingecko-2018-q3-1-768x405.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption><em>Growth of Active Adresses</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>It’s hard to rank it in a different way because more and more projects appeared with innovative gameplay which led the users to look for new experiences.</p>



<p>The release of each new “Cattribute” results in an immediate increase in the value of the kittens… but despite these peaks linked to a punctual event, the overall value of kitties has globally declined throughout the year.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="674" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-cattribute-price-evolution.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1435" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-cattribute-price-evolution.png 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-cattribute-price-evolution-300x169.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-cattribute-price-evolution-1024x575.png 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-cattribute-price-evolution-768x431.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption><em>Cryptokitties price evolution, according to “Base colour” cattribute — Source:</em><a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2018/en/yearly-nft-market-report-free" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em> https://nonfungible.com/nft-report-2018</em></a></figcaption></figure></div>



<h2>Implementation</h2>



<p>Such as the Bitcoin is for crypto-currencies, will <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoKitties </a>stay the reference for non-fungible tokens for the next decade? Will kitties continue to rule the internet?</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="169" height="466" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-largest-sale.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1436" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-largest-sale.png 169w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/cryptokitties-largest-sale-109x300.png 109w" sizes="(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px" /></figure></div>



<p>Only Satoshi Nakamoto could answer… Meanwhile, a single Kitty was sold for 600 ETH in late 2018.</p>



<p>And if you think 20% is not that much among all the existing active addresses, remember:</p>



<ul><li>The number of NFT users is growing every day</li><li>In the worst case, the number didn’t change</li><li>In the best case, the number rose.</li></ul>



<p>There is a very strong dynamic and undoubtedly very promising around the interoperability of the game with other actors in the space:</p>



<ul><li><a href="https://medium.com/mythereum/mythereum-cryptokitties-community-event-fb8575b3527b" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mythereum</a>, a playable TCG on the blockchain</li><li><a href="https://medium.com/dapperlabs/final-results-from-the-gods-unchained-and-cryptokitties-partnership-b0cd7e317a25" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gods Unchained</a>, a Trading Card Game in Alpha</li><li><a href="https://www.animocabrands.com/cryptokitties-partners-with-steph" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Animocabrands</a>, a Chinese company owning many licences</li><li>The<a href="https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2018/07/11/cryptokitties-auction-turtles/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> turtle</a></li><li>The<a href="https://www.coininsider.com/cryptokitties-set-to-gain-a-mobile-app-on-htcs-next-flagship-phone/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> smartphone “blockchain” Exodus</a></li><li><a href="https://coincodex.com/article/2265/ether-kingdoms-levels-up-the-cryptocurrency-gaming-industry-and-partners-with-cryptokitties/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EtherKingdoms</a>, a “POS/RPG” dapp</li></ul>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>To conclude, there has been a gradual decline in interest in the <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoKitties </a>collectible in 2018. From this state of affairs, we can deduce several extremely revealing things from the crypto-collectible phenomenon:</p>



<ol><li>The hype around a collectible is not an end in itself. It is only temporary, and only the utility retains the value of a project and its assets</li><li>CryptoKitties has rebounded thanks to the implementation of Kittyverse (full universe of projects based on the use and staging of CrypoKitties) to expand its value proposition.</li><li>Interoperability is one of the key issues of crypto-gaming today, and we are convinced that it is through this possibility that collectible projects will be able to continue by allowing the use of their assets in other universes, thus giving not one, but an infinity of uses to their assets.</li></ol>



<p><strong><em>What is the future of CryptoKitties for you? Is interoperability between projects really the key to their future?</em></strong></p>


Is collecting and breeding kittens on the internet enough to ensure the sustainability of the project?

What is the future of CryptoKitties?


<p>From Ancient Greek to the present day, sport has always been a passion shared by humans. Competition, collaboration, surpassing oneself, staying in shape, dexterity, strategy, strength… so many reasons that exist to practice a sport!&nbsp;</p>



<p>The definition of sport was limited for a long time to only one list for the Olympic Games. Fortunately, it has greatly expanded to other horizons and today, video games have managed to find a place.</p>



<p>There are already large licenses that produce sport-based video games as well as more independent studios, and this is reflected in the same way in the NFT sector! So what is the place of these actors in the ecosystem and what do they offer?</p>



<h2>The “indie” games</h2>



<p>Let’s start with the games that require skills… from players. You don&#8217;t have to be an athlete to understand how they work, but you have to love arcade games. Indeed, the concepts are very simple to understand but will ask you for quick reflex and thinking skills.</p>



<h3>0xRacers</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/0xracers-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1861" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/0xracers-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/0xracers-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/0xracers-768x432.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/0xracers-1536x864.jpg 1536w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/0xracers.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption> <a href="https://0xracers.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0xRacers</a></figcaption></figure>



<p>Although still in development and in the presale stage, 0xRacers looks quite promising. The team of <a href="https://0x.games/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">0xGames</a> which is behind advances on the project by wanting to link several blockchains (Ethereum, Eos, Tron, Wax, Neo) on this game.</p>



<p>The goal will be to compete with the best tuning car on tracks of a planet of 0xUniverse.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For the moment little information on how the gameplay will play is published, the beta is expected for Q2 2020.&nbsp;</p>



<h3>Battle Racers</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="618" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/battleracers-1024x618.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1862" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/battleracers-1024x618.png 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/battleracers-300x181.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/battleracers-768x464.png 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/05/battleracers.png 1115w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em> <a href="https://battleracers.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Battle Racers</a></em></figcaption></figure>



<p>Directly hosted on the map of Decentraland, Battle Racers offers tournaments on their closed race tracks. All gameplay is automated and victory will depend on the weapons you choose at the start of the race to defeat your opponents or protect yourself with.<br><br>The numerous partnerships with other players in the sector (Light Trail Rush, CryptoKitties, etc.) have enabled a wide variety of personalizations for your car, but it will be the statistics of the car and the parts that will allow you to win.</p>



<p>Whether you have cars or not, if you wanted to try the game, the demo was available to everyone!</p>



<p>As it is a game using NFT in a setting that is itself an NFT, Battle Racers is probably one of the games that comes closest to the definition of “Blockchain game”.</p>



<h2>Sponsored and Licensed games</h2>



<p>Several behemoths in the sports sector are already very interested in the world of video games and have decided to invest in several projects.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Unlike indie games which generally have little budget, the projects below are partly or totally financed by sponsors of international scope.</p>

<p>One of the first games we listed on nonfungible.com! We <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/mlb-champions-gets-listed-on-nonfungible-com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">presented it in March 2019</a> for the occasion.</p>



<p>It is the first MLB officially licensed game in the blockchain universe and truly a pioneer when it comes to licensed collectibles. Each character represents a player existing in the real world and the game economy is based on “play to own”. This concept highlights the collection rather than an “active” gameplay, so you will have to buy a “pack” to be able to start collecting your players.</p>

<p>The Formula 1 licensed game by <a href="https://www.animocabrands.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Animoca Brands</a>, gave birth to a racing game in which certain models have been used officially in the past. The acquisition of a car, parts and driver is done through <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/f1-delta-time-crates-sale" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the purchase of “crates”</a> and the set will determine the characteristics of the car that you will compete.</p>



<p>All we know for sure about the future gameplay of the game is that it will be multiplayer with isometric 3D graphics, the tournaments will take place on an official track of Formula 1 2019 and will be in three stages: warm up, qualifying, and the final race.</p>



<h3>Arena Golf</h3>

<p>As of this writing, the game is in the presale and developing stages, but you will find features on golfers. They allow you to choose which strategy you plan to adopt later.</p>

<p>Animoca Brands, having the license to use the image of FC Bayern Munich, has created a collectible game in the image of the players.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The success (<a href="https://medium.com/stryking-io/stryking-holiday-auction-closes-with-an-impressive-total-of-over-552eth-in-sales-5508037a19e5" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">552ETH</a>) of the auction of the legendary 24 cards quickly brought the project to light in the eyes of the crypto community.</p>



<p>The game is still in development, little information on the gameplay is available.</p>

<p>At this stage, we know practically nothing about this game, except that it was announced by the NBA and that the studio which will take care of it will be Dapper Labs!</p>



<p>We can&#8217;t wait to see what the creators of CryptoKitties are going to do with this license!</p>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>Unfortunately, there is, for the moment, very little means of tournaments for the games based on blockchain. But, it is likely that the recent arrival of these major players in the sports industry will soon change things!</p>



<p>You may have noticed, but most of the games are for the moment confined to the collection of cards bearing the image of personalities. Even if the presence of known players behind the games is reassuring if the presale fails, we can only advise you to learn as much as possible about the projects in which you want to get involved with.</p>



<p>E-sport competitions are video game tournaments offering players the opportunity to showcase their skills on different levels. We hope that the game experiences that will be offered at the end of the development will live up to the promise made during the pre-sales!</p>



<p>To conclude this article, an extract from a fable by La Fontaine:</p>



<p><em>“Nothing is useful to run, you have to leave just in time”</em></p>


When the possibility of combining sports games and blockchain is coming, how can you resist the urge to take an interest in it?

Sport games and IP using Non-Fungible Tokens


<p>Last year we <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/what-is-the-future-of-cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wrote an article</a> wondering what the future of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoKitties</a> is going to be.</p>



<p>Our conclusions were:</p>



<ol><li>The hype around a collectible is not an end in itself. It is typically only temporary, and only utility retains the value of a project and its assets.</li><li>CryptoKitties was back in the game thanks to the implementation of Kittyverse (full universe of projects based on the use and staging of CrypoKitties) to expand its value proposition.</li><li>Interoperability is one of the key issues of crypto-gaming today, and we are convinced that it is through this possibility that collectible projects will be able to continue by allowing the use of their assets in other universes, thus giving not one, but an infinity of uses to their assets.</li></ol>



<p>Today, the Dapper Labs teams have decided to create the <a href="https://www.onflow.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Flow blockchain</a> and focus on it to be able to accommodate new games and new universes. The creation of this new blockchain is the opportunity for us to take stock of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptokitties" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoKitties</a>: How have these cats evolved over time?</p>



<p>While CryptoKitties and CheezeWizards will continue to exist on Ethereum, does this mark their final clap? Or on the contrary, a renewal?</p>



<h2><strong>Evolution of USD through time</strong></h2>



<p>As the last two months of 2017 are a bit special, they have been separated from the rest of the charts. In total, this represents <strong>$29,691,011</strong> traded during this short period.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="407" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-usd-2018.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2638" title="Graphique" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-usd-2018.png 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-usd-2018-300x119.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-usd-2018-768x305.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>CryptoKitties USD Volume through time</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>In two months this represents a record for the project, because from 2018 to today the cumulative total of exchanges represents <strong>$25,037,153</strong>.</p>



<p>During 2018, the project was able to ride the wave by regularly posting new “cattribute” traits to keep its community active. We had carefully analyzed the impact each of these updates had on the evolution of prices in our <a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2018/en/yearly-nft-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">annual report on NFTs 2018</a>.</p>



<p>But despite many attempts, it was from November 2018 when the value of CryptoKitties began to gradually decline over time without returning to the levels of its beginnings.</p>



<h2><strong>Evolution of Transactions through time</strong></h2>



<p>For the last two months of 2017, there were <strong>1,916,125</strong> transactions made for CryptoKitties.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="435" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-tx-2018-1024x435.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2636" title="Graphique" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-tx-2018-1024x435.png 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-tx-2018-300x128.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-tx-2018-768x326.png 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-tx-2018-1536x653.png 1536w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-tx-2018.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption> <em>CryptoKitties number of transaction through time</em> </figcaption></figure>



<p>Despite very expensive transaction fees during this period and the very low price of Ethereum, the number of transactions for CryptoKitties managed to hold up overall in 2018. Transactions managed to pick up again during the year thanks to the updates of the project but the year 2019 marked a gradual decline over time.</p>



<p>The announcement of the creation of Flow in early 2020 nearly killed the project but a clarification in March reassured users. This increase is also visible on the chart of USD volumes traded.</p>



<h2><strong>Evolution of CryptoKitties&#8217; Active Users through time</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="408" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-users-2018-1024x408.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2637" title="Graphique" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-users-2018-1024x408.png 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-users-2018-300x119.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-users-2018-768x306.png 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-users-2018-1536x612.png 1536w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2020/08/cryptokitties-users-2018.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>  <em>CryptoKitties number of active wallets through time</em>  </figcaption></figure>



<p>The number of active users (at least one transaction per week) is essential to understand the evolution of a project. Without community, the project does not exist.</p>



<p>During the bloodbath in early 2018, many users fled the crypto world and almost abandoned their cats. But until the private key is thrown away, NFTs remain in their owner&#8217;s wallet. It is therefore a strong community that has rebuilt itself from March 2018 and has remained faithful to the project.</p>



<p>However, despite being maintained in 2019, the number of active users gradually decreased until 2020. The explanation for this decline may be due to the increasing number of blockchain games that have been released over the year.</p>



<p>Like the other metrics, Flow&#8217;s announcement nearly knocked out the remaining CryptoKitties users.</p>



<h2><strong>Flow: A new departure?</strong></h2>



<p>This time around, with numbers to back it up, it&#8217;s not CryptoKitties who are pointing fingers for the increased transaction fees! Since June 2020, DeFI has cannibalized the Ethereum blocks and the price of gas has once again peaked.<br><br>This transaction fee problem Dapper Lab encountered quite early on and that is why they have been working on Flow for two years. Rather than using a second layer or waiting for ETH2, they are betting on creating a new medium that will still be able to interact with Ethereum.</p>



<p>It is therefore a whole new tailor-made universe that is being created for these cats and magicians, but which will also be able to accommodate more institutional projects like Libra.</p>



<p>The question that remains unanswered is whether drastically decreasing transaction fees will entice users to get back on board!</p>

Since its inception in late 2017, while CryptoKitties was a huge success, what has become of them today? How will CryptoKitties become revitalized?

CryptoKitties: The final clap?


<p>With non-fungible tokens (NFTs) exploding in popularity, <strong>more and more notable players in the crypto industry</strong> are taking a keen interest in them. <strong>Binance</strong>, <strong>Coingecko</strong>, and <strong>CoinMarketCap </strong>already took the plunge with a few airdrops last year, but their participation was still relatively reserved.</p>



<p>It wasn&#8217;t until the end of 2020 that more internationally renowned artists—such as <strong>3LAU</strong>, <strong>Gramatik</strong>, and <strong>Kings of Leon</strong>—began to adopt this new creative medium, releasing works on marketplaces like <strong>SuperRare </strong>and <strong>Nifty Gateway</strong>. The momentum continued and the NFT craze spread quickly, with prominent artists like <strong>Eminem</strong>, <strong>Grimes</strong>, <strong>Linkin Park</strong>, and <strong>Slipknot</strong> following suit.</p>



<p>Faced with this increased demand from collectors and creators to buy and sell NFTs, innovative new marketplaces have emerged to connect the two and offer exciting content. Among them is <a href="https://crypto.com/nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crypto.com NFT</a>, a platform that features exclusive, curated collections by top artists, musicians, athletes, and brands.</p>



<h2><strong>Presentation of crypto.com</strong></h2>



<p><a href="https://crypto.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crypto.com</a> is one of the most well-known crypto companies in the world, thanks in large part to its <strong>leading mobile app and widely-available crypto Visa card</strong>. Offering powerful alternatives to traditional financial services, Crypto.com has positioned itself as a <strong>key player in the industry in a few short years</strong>, and currently boasts over 10 million users worldwide.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Recently, Crypto.com launched the <a href="https://blog.crypto.com/cro-mainnet-launching-on-march-25th-2021-as-crypto-org-chain/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mainnet of its native Crypto.org Chain</a>, which uses a dPoS consensus algorithm to empower the future of crypto payments. With a <strong>hundred expected validators</strong>, the company is rapidly working to decentralise its public blockchain to bring about fast and secure transactions for all.</p>

<p>With this background and experience in the crypto space, Crypto.com is now<strong> </strong>taking on NFTs by creating a world-class marketplace. Poised to be the most <strong>user-friendly NFT platform</strong> out there, Crypto.com NFT allows users to browse NFTs in fiat currency, and make purchases directly using their credit/debit card, <a href="https://crypto.com/pay" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crypto.com Pay</a> via the<a href="https://crypto.com/app" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Crypto.com App</a>, or a wallet that supports ERC20 tokens (e.g. Metamask, WalletConnect)..</p>

<p>The undeniable advantage that Crypto.com has over other marketplaces is its reputation , which has led to partnerships with artists like<a href="https://snoopdogg.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Snoop Dogg</a>,<a href="http://www.axelmansoor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Axel Mansoor</a> (the<a href="https://www.pollstar.com/article/king-of-the-clubhouse-how-axel-mansoor-became-the-new-social-networks-breakout-music-star-147436" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> King Of The Clubhouse</a>),<a href="https://www.bagraiders.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Bag Raiders</a>,<a href="https://www.bosslogicinc.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> BossLogic</a>,<a href="http://boygeorgeandcultureclub.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Boy George</a>,<a href="https://jonathanmonaghan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Jonathan Monaghan</a> with<a href="https://www.instagram.com/nathanevanss.ig/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Nathan Evans</a> (of #1 single Sea Shanty<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellerman#Nathan_Evans_version" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ‘Wellerman’</a> fame),<a href="http://www.kcamp427.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> KCamp</a>,<a href="https://klarensbox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Klarens Malluta</a> with<a href="https://lionelrichie.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Lionel Richie</a>,<a href="https://wearekloud.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> KLOUD</a>, and<a href="https://www.mrbrainwash.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Mr. Brainwash</a>.

<p>At the moment, Crypto.com releases exclusive ‘Drops’ several times a week. They’re only available for a limited time, and usually sell out very quickly. It was the famed NFT artist <strong>Bosslogic </strong>and the <strong>Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™</strong> team who had the honor of dropping the first two collections on the platform, and all of their NFTs sold out in less than 24 hours.T<a href="https://crypto.com/nft/drops-event/80b2e021d4cbfbc43789db5377ecf1ed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">he <strong>legendary Hip Hop artist</strong> Snoop Dogg also dropped</a> his first-ever NFT collection on Crypto.com NFT to much hype.</p>

Everybody knows crypto.com but did you know that they were behind the first NFT sale of the NYSE? Today they have an NFT marketplace with exclusive drops!

Crypto.com NFT Marketplace: Exclusive Drops from A-list Artists !


<p>In the first quarter of 2021 NFT (non-fungible token) sales <strong>topped over $2 billion</strong> with a market cap that increased by 1,785%. There is no doubt the explosive demand for NFTs has sparked the curiosity of fans eager to participate in the frenzy for a chance to own early digital collectables from their favorite artists and brands.</p>



<p>The only issue is that the general population has yet to bridge into the crypto space due multiple factors including the friction point of setting up a crypto wallet.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Enter <a href="https://oncurio.com/?utm_source=NonFungible&amp;utm_medium=Paid&amp;utm_campaign=AmericanGods_MotelAmerica&amp;utm_content=HomePage1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Curio,</a> an emerging <strong>digital collectibles and experience platform</strong> that delivers a fiat gateway for the general public as well as a crypto native access point via <strong>MetaMask</strong>.</p>



<p>Curio&#8217;s mission is to <strong>leverage the power of blockchain</strong> to connect fans to the artists, characters, and stories we know and love. By paving an <strong>accessible pathway</strong> for true collectors and worldwide fans to play in the NFT space, Curio’s platform also establishes a reliable landing for household brands looking to enter the NFT market.</p>



<h2>Presentation of CurioNFT </h2>



<p>Built on the belief that NFTs serve as a new mechanism of storytelling, Curio enables creators, studios, and celebrities to <strong>share innovative content with fan-centric communities</strong> by providing a new channel to summon, engage, share, and reward the most beloved of fans. The adoption of Curio’s platform also ushers in the opportunity for brands and studios to <strong>redefine what owning collectibles or tokens mean in 2021</strong> and beyond.<br><br><strong>Fremantle</strong> productions is one of those brands that has welcomed the use of Curio’s platform. Curio partnered with Fremantle productions to drop a series of NFTs for the&nbsp; TV Show, <strong>American Gods</strong>, originally created by the epic British author <strong>Neil Gaiman</strong> and produced by Fremantle productions. Their first drop, which went live in Feb 2021, sold out in a matter of 65 minutes. American Gods have a wildly engaged and rabid fanbase: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“Curio made it easy for us to engage with our fans in a meaningful and modern way, by creating a variety of digital experiences and collectibles for American Gods Season 3. Now <strong>fans</strong> of the show <strong>can share and interact with the content and characters they love.”&nbsp;</strong></p></blockquote>



<p>Coming off the heels of their sold out first collection, Curio and Fremantle productions have teamed up again to drop <a href="https://oncurio.com/collections/american-gods-motel-america?utm_source=NonFungible&amp;utm_medium=Paid&amp;utm_campaign=AmericanGods_MotelAmerica&amp;utm_content=CollectionsPage1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">“Motel America,”</a> the second collection of American Gods NFTs dropping on <a href="https://oncurio.com/collections/american-gods-motel-america?utm_source=NonFungible&amp;utm_medium=Paid&amp;utm_campaign=AmericanGods_MotelAmerica&amp;utm_content=CollectionsPage2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Curio June 2nd at 10 AM PDT. </a></p>

<p>With passionate fans, Curio plans to offer different experiences to holders of officially licenced NFTs. They are working with Fremantle directly to identify how holders of NFTs can access creatives from the show to provide utility along with value.<br><br>Curio has announced partnerships with several other notable names in the entertainment industry including <strong>Dark Horse Comics, Heavy Metal Magazine</strong>, and <strong>Universal Pictures</strong>. On the horizon, Curio shared they have NFTs coming from artists, films, record labels, and one of the largest trading card companies in the world.</p>

Curio unleashes a new power of Fandom to NFTs


<p>For humankind, individuality has always had its value. These days there are many ways to <strong>stand out from the crowd,</strong> one of the primary ways is with clothing and accessories. From wild self-expression, following trends, avant-garde or pure simplicity, everyone can adopt a style that best represents them. Among the everyday accessories that speak volumes about a person&#8217;s identity, <strong>the watch</strong> has long been an essential object.</p>



<p>Responding to an increasingly connected society, the <strong>Apple Watch</strong> was released in 2014, marking the first step in a rapidly growing market.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Connected watches enable you to check notifications, answer calls, monitor your heart rate or count your steps. One of <strong>Apple&#8217;s </strong>great strengths has always been in their product design, and they used this to take their connected watches to the next level as <strong>luxury accessories</strong> including using gold for manufacturing and <strong>bracelets </strong>signed by <strong>Hermes</strong>.</p>



<p>Last year the world of luxury watches saw companies like <strong>Breitling</strong> take several steps forward into the world of <strong>NFTs</strong>, particularly in regards to the traceability and authentication of their manufactured watch parts.&nbsp;</p>



<p><a href="https://cryptowatches.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crypto Watches</a> have taken this new concept one step further, offering individual customization of their connected watch interfaces through the use of NFTs. So, how will Non-Fungible Tokens be used and what makes Crypto Watches of particular interest?</p>



<h2><strong>Presentation of Crypto Watches </strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Crypto Watches" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/soPE3wI5giU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Crypto Watches is part of a larger project headed by Watch Skins. While Crypto Watches is the name of the <strong>luxury NFT brand</strong>, <strong>Watch Skins</strong> is the marketplace and app where you can exchange, configure and customize your Crypto Watches.</p>



<p>The Watch Skins <strong>NFT wearables app</strong> creates a link between your connected watch and smartphone, and uses Non-Fungible Tokens in an innovative and original way. Indeed, until now there have been NFTs for games, art, virtual worlds and even domain names, but the Wearables and Internet of Things sectors have been so far relatively unexplored.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="419" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/crypto-watches-release.jpg" alt="crypto watches release" class="wp-image-5098" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/crypto-watches-release.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/crypto-watches-release-300x251.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>



<p>With connected watches becoming increasingly widespread over recent years, it’s a natural move for the Watch Skins team, who are now offering <strong>several customizable interface</strong> <strong>collections.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Crypto Watches is distinguished by the team&#8217;s desire to propel the rarity of a luxury accessory to the next level, and represents the first licensed brand on the Watch Skins platform.</p>



<p>This move caught the eye of <strong>The Brand Liaison</strong> who Watch Skins has partnered with, opening the door to negotiate onboarding other brands to this new application.</p>



<h2><strong>The first wearable NFT</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1400" height="787" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable.jpg" alt="cryptowatches wearable" class="wp-image-5099" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable.jpg 1400w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-wearable-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px" /></figure></div>



<p>One of the greatest strengths of the project lies in its ability to offer <strong>great freedom to its creators</strong>. Here are some of the features announced in their <a href="https://watchskins.com/whitepaper.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Whitepaper</a>:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Changing face color</strong> and pattern, watch hands or number styles.</li><li><strong>Customizing background</strong> images and “stickers.”</li><li><strong>Template customization</strong> for different types of Watch Skins, for example, different custom templates that come with a collection.</li><li><strong>Licensed Content</strong> and licensed content customization.</li><li>Built-in <strong>wallet</strong> functions for managing all NFTs.</li></ul>



<p>Thanks to an <strong>integrated in-app</strong> <strong>wallet</strong>, the interaction with the blockchain is almost invisible to the end user.</p>



<p>Another interesting aspect is the ability to be able to sell and auction your watches to other app users from your <strong>Collection</strong>, there&#8217;s a whole community aspect that can develop between collectors.</p>



<p>Much more than just a smartwatch design app, Crypto Watches allows you to create an intimate, connected and humanly decentralized universe.</p>



<h2><strong>Several Collections</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="940" height="528" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection.jpg" alt="cryptowatches collection" class="wp-image-5097" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection.jpg 940w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/cryptowatches-collection-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px" /></figure></div>



<p>The different creations available in the application will belong to unique collections. Each collection will offer a limited number of pieces and come with the additional freedom of to create a one-of-a-kind customized face, completely tailored to the purchaser&#8217;s own personal style.</p>



<p>The first of these, the &#8220;Gotham&#8221; collection is scheduled to drop <strong>July 15th at 9 AM PST, </strong>and is limited to only 5,000 pieces.</p>



<p>Although this first collection is delivered by the Crypto Watches team themselves, future collections will be <strong>licensed partner brands</strong>. In addition to these well known brands, Watch Skins will also be working with internationally renowned artists to create exclusive designs!</p>



<p>And let&#8217;s not forget the key features of the blockchain: the <strong>information </strong>displayed in the app regarding the authenticity and provenance of the skin <strong>can be verified</strong> because it is publicly accessible on Ethereum..</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>Watch Skins allows users to interact with the blockchain without even realizing it, and Crypto Watches speak directly to the world of luxury by offering a high-end product.</p>



<p>In a future article, we will dive deeper into the team&#8217;s related project, Watch Skins, the marketplace that allows you to buy and resell your NFTs, creating a secondary market that is directly accessible from the app.</p>



<p>With this new type of NFT combining a digital license, creativity and a connection with the real world, Crypto Watches is entering a market that has yet to be explored in the crypto ecosystem. If we take into account the tendency of luxury brands to take a close interest in NFTs, Crypto Watches could be one of the first applications to release a tool of this kind with the sky being the limit in possibilities.</p>



<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color">Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article. No content or article should be considered as financial advice. We strongly recommend you to conduct due diligence and always do your own research before investing in a project.</p>


Among the many diverse and innovative use cases for NFTs in the real world, one aspect that has so far been very little explored is the area of connected smart watches and their digital skins. Crypto Watches has recognised this opportunity and their digital watch skins are indeed, Non-FungibleTokens.

The future of wearable NFTs with Crypto Watches


<p>With the increased ease of being able to access NFTs as well as increasingly accessible user interfaces, the number of use cases for NFTs is multiplying. Among the as of yet, little adopted use cases that show great potential are <strong>NFTs in marketing.</strong></p>



<p>In recent years there have been several experiments within the marketing space but at that time the different projects were more experiments intended to try out what was possible to do with the blockchain rather than a <strong>real value proposition</strong> for marketing.</p>



<p>Today, <a href="https://millionpieces.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Millionpieces.io</a> is attempting to broaden the frontier of possibilities by taking an idea already used in the early days of the internet and <strong>combining it with NFT potential</strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>Presentation</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="459" height="600" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-country.jpg" alt="millionpieces country" class="wp-image-5773" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-country.jpg 459w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-country-230x300.jpg 230w" sizes="(max-width: 459px) 100vw, 459px" /></figure></div>



<p>The Millionpieces.io project was launched in April 2021 but as seen above, the concept dates back to the beginning of the 2000s when it was possible to buy pixels from a grid on a site and put it online as an <strong>advertising insert</strong>.</p>



<p>At this time, several difficulties arose, particularly regarding <strong>the veracity of information</strong> that could appear in these advertising inserts but these old difficulties can now be solved with NFTs!</p>



<p>To achieve this, Millionpieces.io decided not to re-enter the market with a simple website offering advertising rectangles but rather <strong>a layer over the entire world map</strong>, divided into 10,000 individual segments. These 10,000 segments were then broken down into 10,000 to obtain 1 million available slots.</p>



<p>You guessed it, <strong>these million slots are NFTs</strong> that will be available for purchase during a presale that will take place on June 5, 2021.</p>



<h2><strong>Advertising on the entire planet</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="896" height="505" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-world-in-piece.gif" alt="millionpieces world in pieces" class="wp-image-5775"/></figure></div>



<p>To be able to acquire this <strong>new customizable</strong> <strong>space</strong> visible to the whole world, some information will be important to remember! The most important is to know that the project takes place in two phases:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Phase 1</strong> is the pre-sale of these million available spaces. Priced at 0.1 ETH per plot, once the sale is complete, this whole new custom world will be called &#8220;World in pieces&#8221;</li><li><strong>Phase 2</strong> will begin with a <a href="https://millionpieces.gitbook.io/millionpieces/piece-token/token-specs-and-distribution" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">1 million $PIECE airdrop</a>, the project’s fungible token. Its purpose is to allow you to access artistic NFT drops in future that will not be possible to acquire without $PIECE</li></ul>



<p>So, how will this breakdown be carried out?&nbsp; It&#8217;s a collection of 10,000 NFT&#8217;s of <strong>163 Country</strong> NFT&#8217;s and <strong>20 City</strong> NFTs. As countries and cities do not all have the same area, some of them therefore will have fewer available plots.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="439" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-social-media.jpg" alt="millionpieces social media" class="wp-image-5774" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-social-media.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/07/millionpieces-social-media-300x263.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>



<p>Even if the initial price is the same for all the locations, not all will have the same value in the future&#8230; Moreover, it is possible to add links to <strong>social networks</strong> as well as a link to any website. Another element to consider is the possibility of merging these locations into a larger one in order to be even more visible to the world.</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>There is no doubt that initiatives to promote a project in a decentralized manner and with global visibility, accessible by anyone with a crypto wallet, will continue to emerge in the future.</p>



<p>The initiative led by Millionpieces.io is therefore part of a larger scheme that will interest brands but will also perhaps participate in the emergence of artists or new projects that will want this kind of visibility.</p>



<p>For the majority of use cases for Non-Fungible Tokens most are still very young but the application of NFTs within Marketing is still in its infancy. <strong>So we can&#8217;t wait to see how this new promotional method will evolve!</strong></p>



<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color">Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article. No content or article should be considered as financial advice. We strongly recommend you to conduct due diligence and always do your own research before investing in a project.</p>


When it comes to promotion, NFTs can be a very convenient way for brands and projects to get noticed. Millionpieces.io wants to put in place a whole system to achieve this.

Advertising with a million NFTs


<p>In May 2021 the sale of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/meebits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meebits</a> took place and we saw a strong influx of newcomers that followed after. This interest in collectibles grew very quickly with projects like <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/veefriends" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VeeFriends</a> and <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/boredapeclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bored Ape Yacht Club</a> and many others..</p>



<p>An elegant design, an original look, some features were rarer than others with the beginning of July marked by the success of Bored Ape Yacht Club which was, for better or worse, quickly followed by a slew of &#8216;inspired by&#8217; projects.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s difficult to make an exhaustive list because that&#8217;s getting longer every day, but it&#8217;s not an understatement to say that today there&#8217;s <strong>a real zoo 3.0</strong> made up of the different <strong>animal species</strong> of the planet, also notably <strong>robots</strong>, <strong>aliens </strong>and other <strong>fantastic creatures</strong>.</p>



<p>Although we greatly appreciate the diversity and creativity induced by these new collectible projects, in recent weeks their multiplication has made us wonder if <strong>there was something hiding in the shadows</strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>The primary distribution of PFP Project</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="375" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-1024x375.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5958" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-1024x375.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-300x110.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1-768x281.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-distribution-1.jpg 1275w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>The big question is how the <strong>initial distribution</strong> of sales was made. Indeed, if the <strong>Whales </strong>have too many assets from the start, the distribution is biased and the market is therefore subject to <strong>their goodwill</strong>. In addition, there is a high probability that they will be sending transactions with very high gas fees, ensuring they can recover as many assets as possible&#8230; before you!</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="450" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5976" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2.jpg 450w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-frogs-2-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><em><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/sadfrogsdistrict" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sad Frogs District</a></em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>That&#8217;s why lately the gas costs are starting to become <strong>very high again</strong> on Ethereum&#8230; but these are not the only negative consequences. The following are a likely consequences of an <strong>unfair distribution scenario</strong>:</p>



<p><em>During a presale you manage to mint an NFT at the warning signal price of $100, after spending $150 in transaction fees. But you’re lucky, after unveiling its metadata, you discover you have a rare asset!</em></p>



<p><em>You look at the price of similar assets and put yours up for sale, a little above the floor price at $500. Only here, all the other assets are selling except yours. You do not want to miss this momentum, in addition there are offers of $250 that accumulate for your asset but this price is too low for you!</em><br><em>You give up the hope of realizing a x5 and lower your price a little.</em> </p>



<p><em>As soon as you put $500 as the sale price, your asset is bought within a minute! And in less time than it takes to congratulate yourself, this new buyer has put it back on sale at $1250 and worse few minutes later, it sells..</em> </p>



<p><em>You look at the floor price of &#8220;common&#8221; NFTs which has reached $750 and you say to yourself &#8220;I should have kept my rare NFT&#8221;.&nbsp;</em></p>



<p>The question that follows is: are you going to take the risk of buying a $750 NFT in <strong>the hope</strong> of selling it for more afterwards? Here you are in a situation of <strong>Fear Of Missing Out</strong> (FOMO) that can quite honestly ruin you..</p>



<p>The scenario above is quite possible if:</p>



<ul><li>A group coordinates to buy their own NFT among themselves but &#8220;boycott&#8221; those who are not part of the group&#8217;s portfolios.</li><li>The initial distribution is mainly acquired by this group.</li></ul>



<p>In this way they can obtain all the rare assets for <strong>very cheap</strong> and sell the common one at <strong>gold prices</strong> to the naïve who are influenced by the volumes of the markets that <strong>seem good</strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>What are the consequences on the NFT market?</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="452" height="535" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-potato-power-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5963" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-potato-power-1.jpg 452w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-potato-power-1-253x300.jpg 253w" sizes="(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px" /></figure></div>



<p>Although the main consequence of this unequal distribution is a risk of <strong>market manipulation</strong>, this has revealed other problems.</p>



<p>The attraction of <strong>quick cash </strong>has attracted practices and behaviors that were previously quite rare in the ecosystem: total <strong>anonymity of the team</strong>, with <strong>Smart Contracts</strong> made public <strong>10 minutes before the Presale</strong> or an army of trolls that invade Discord servers to spam or broadcast FUD&#8230;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="450" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5964" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1.jpg 450w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pickles-1-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><em><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/myfuckingpickle" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">My Fucking Pickle</a></em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>It is possible to set in the smart contract <strong>a limit of mint per transaction</strong>. If this limit is ever abnormally high (100 or 200 for example), this can be considered as a <strong>warning signal</strong>.</p>



<p>Also, if  projects are listed on certain sites because they paid in order to announce their presale faster, this increases the likelihood of <strong>insider trading</strong> or <strong>conflict of interest</strong>.</p>



<p>Finally, another consequence of this unfair competition is the lack of lower gas prices for creatives who are wanting to try out minting NFTs.</p>



<p>This sends out an <strong>extremely negative signal</strong> from the ecosystem to see &#8220;low effort&#8221; projects being sold out in less than an hour while they themselves are still waiting for an order to make a personalized tailor-made portrait.</p>



<h2><strong>Are PFP collectibles a scam?</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="450" height="450" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5965" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1.jpg 450w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/08/collectibles-profile-pictures-pinguin-1-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /><figcaption><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/pudgypenguins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>Pudgy Penguins</em></a></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The segment of collectible NFTs is special because it is very similar to that of Art in the sense that <strong>their main usefulness is&#8230; to be collected.</strong> When purchasing one of these NFTs several elements must be taken into account:</p>



<ul><li>Decentralized Metadata</li><li>Decentralized Image</li><li>Artists&#8217; Reputation</li><li>Reputation of the Team</li><li>Rarity of Attributes</li><li>Another Utility (video games, privileges, access to a club&#8230;)</li></ul>



<p>It is therefore important to understand that by purchasing NFTs whose sole function is to serve as a collector&#8217;s item, will confer a sense of <strong>belonging to a group or community</strong> but there is absolutely no guarantee of getting back the money spent.</p>



<p>Regarding the &#8220;generative&#8221; collectibles of different animals or fantastic species, having a rarer NFT than the others will give a<strong> more important social status</strong> within the community but generally, that&#8217;s where it stops.</p>



<p>If the collector&#8217;s item is <strong>sufficiently decentralized</strong>, it will be kept in your wallet for years and years, thus constituting an imperishable memory and <strong>defining part of your digital identity</strong>.</p>



<p>It is therefore important to distinguish between Collectible projects that are in danger of <strong>disappearing overnight</strong> and those that really want to develop a project in the mid-long term, even if the main ambition is above all <strong>to have fun</strong>.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s up to you to choose if you like the graphic design of a project and to check that maximum of its data is decentralized so as not to fall victim to a scam!</p>



<p><strong>Stay curious and especially sharing, there is still a lot of room for the NFTs ecosystem to grow!</strong></p>


After the success of Bored Ape Yacht Club, a lot of collectibles projects including apes, dogs, rats or aliens popped on our radar. Let’s take a closer look at this new Profile Picture hype!

Collectibles, Generative Profile Pictures and FOMO


<p>Do you know the <strong>divinatory tarot</strong>? These mysterious cards have distant origins and many grant them <strong>magical powers</strong>. But their power comes essentially from the way they are drawn and their <strong>interpretation</strong>.</p>



<p>By playing between the past, the present and the future, these cards are surrounded by <strong>many mysteries</strong> and this makes it conducive to the creation of stories, adventures&#8230; and quests.</p>



<p>Thanks to the possibilities offered by Non-Fungible Tokens, these stories can be exported around the world and <strong>connect different communities.</strong> Ideal for creating decentralized quests to solve as a community.</p>



<p>This is precisely what <a href="https://parablenft.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Parable NFT</a> wants to do thanks to an <strong>innovative ecosystem</strong> combining cryptographic challenges, quests and other mysteries.</p>



<h2>Presentation of Parable NFT</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="857" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-emperor.jpg" alt="parable NFT emperor" class="wp-image-6397" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-emperor.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-emperor-300x214.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-emperor-1024x731.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-emperor-768x548.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure></div>



<p>Parable NFT is quite recent in the ecosystem but its influences come from three major art projects: <strong>CryptoPunks</strong>, <strong>Hashmasks</strong> and <strong>Bored Ape Yacht Club</strong>. Different aspects have attracted attention behind the Parable NFT team:</p>



<ul><li><strong>Iconic art</strong> : the importance of a visual identity specific to each project made it possible to differentiate itself from the others</li><li><strong>Community spirit</strong> : the community that is created around a project is one of the pillars of its success. It is thanks to her that the project can evolve and new ideas emerge</li><li><strong>More than pictures</strong> : Many refer to NFTs as Jpegs. But they represent much more than that, each being unique and really belonging to its owner, Web3 now allows innovations that were impossible to achieve until recently .</li><li><strong>Synergies</strong> : Even though the NFT community is fragmented into several small groups, it is one large family in the end. The synergies created between these different communities allow for a &#8220;network effect&#8221; that strengthens the individual groups as well as the collective whole.</li></ul>



<p>It is with these values that Parable NFT decided to create its project with on the one hand a unique visual identity and on the other hand a little explored concept: <strong>puzzles</strong> and a <strong>treasure hunt</strong>.</p>



<h2>NFT Treasure hunt</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="857" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-fool.jpg" alt="parable NFT fool" class="wp-image-6398" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-fool.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-fool-300x214.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-fool-1024x731.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-fool-768x548.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure></div>



<p>The first stage of this <strong>treasure hunt</strong> was launched on August 30, 2021 with the<a href="https://opensea.io/collection/parable" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> sale of</a> the different cards where the different clues will be hidden to <strong>solve the puzzles</strong>. Although it was originally planned to have 42,000 cards, there will eventually be 21,000 cards that will be revealed on September 13.</p>



<p>It is announced that the puzzles will be <strong>particularly complicated</strong> and will therefore need to be carried out as a team with other players. For each puzzle solved, a <strong>community reward</strong> will be distributed among all Parable card holders.</p>



<p>This reward will be in the form of <strong>Parable Naming Tokens</strong> ($PNT) that allow you to rename your card to add a degree of rarity and personalization. But beyond the $PNT, there are other things to discover!</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="420" height="600" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-warrior.jpg" alt="parable NFT warrior" class="wp-image-6399" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-warrior.jpg 420w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/09/parable-NFT-warrior-210x300.jpg 210w" sizes="(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px" /></figure></div>



<p>For example, it is important to know that the <strong>most obvious clues</strong> will be apparent on the image (such as the features that compose it) but there will also be <strong>hidden ones</strong> that you will have to look elsewhere.</p>



<p>In addition, although some clues will be visible on the visual part of the image, thus <strong>increasing its rarity</strong>, some cards will contain more than that: <strong>NFTs hidden within NFTs</strong>.</p>



<p>There will be 7 puzzles to solve and the only way to send your answers to the puzzles will be directly through the smart contract. It will therefore be necessary to have a <strong>sharp eye</strong> and look at the visuals to find the more obvious clues, but also look in other elements to find the more obscure ones.</p>



<h2>Conclusion</h2>



<p>Parable NFT is really aimed at an audience that <strong>loves to take on challenges</strong> as a team to solve puzzles advertised as really hard, all in a theme still little explored with original visuals.</p>



<p>Treasure hunters belong to a <strong>determined and competitive community</strong> and that is why alliances will surely play a decisive role in this adventure. But one of the collaboration advantages of Parable NFT is a <strong>common reward</strong> for all participants.</p>



<p><strong>Whether you are a lover of cryptographic puzzles or simply art collectors dedicated to the art of divinatory tarot, this project is for you!</strong></p>

Quests and treasure hunting with Parable NFT


<p><a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/forgottenrunes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forgotten Runes Wizard’s Cult</a> (FRWC) launched on June 30, 2021. Less than thirty minutes after launch all 10,000 pixel art Wizards sold out. Less than a year after launch FRWC has summoned attention from beyond its home realm of non-fungible tokens and expanded into traditional media. And at the time of publication FRWC ranks 41st among collectibles available on Ethereum according to our data. What is this phenomenon that has mobilized so many would-be wizards?</p>



<h2>Storytelling, Intellectual Property, and Traditional Media</h2>



<p>Some of the Wizard NFTs feature a pet in addition to the character. Some contain extra visual features like a scythe, and others manage to hold their own heads. All of them call back to 1980s video game art and roleplaying games. FRWC also looks to the future the community can create thanks to the project’s storytelling affordances. These features combine to form what Magic Machine, the project creators, call a ‘legendarium.’ What makes the legendarium different from other projects?&nbsp;</p>



<h3><strong>A Hybrid IP Model</strong></h3>



<p>Magic Machine offer the holder of a Wizard NFT all commercial rights to that NFT. This<a href="https://thedefiant.io/bored-apes-yacht-club-cryptopunks-copyright-fight/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> hybrid intellectual property model</a> allows community members to receive some of the profits from the forthcoming<a href="https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/john-wick-derek-kolstad-forgotten-runes-wizards-cult-series-1235257501/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> comic book, MMORPG, and television releases</a>. The IP model also occupies a middle ground between Creative Commons (CC0) projects where no-one holds any rights and projects where creators alone possess intellectual property rights.</p>



<h3><strong>Web3 Fanfiction: The Runiverse</strong></h3>



<p>From the perspective of community and storytelling, Wizard owners have more at stake because they can add value to their Wizards by creating a backstory that’s verifiably theirs, yet within the overall narrative originated by the folks at Magic Machine. Each backstory created is a collaboration with the creators. This dynamic ‘Runiverse’ differs from Web2 fan fiction because authors have greater access to recognition and compensation for their efforts: the blockchain stores an author’s contribution for all to see.</p>



<h2>What&#8217;s next for Forgotten Runes Wizards’ Cult?</h2>



<p>In addition to the project&#8217;s rapid expansion beyond NFTs, Magic Machine has activated Forgotten Runes Warriors in the runiverse. </p>



<ul><li>Comic Book: According to <a href="https://www.forgottenrunes.com/posts/roadmap">Forgotten Runes Wizards’ Cult roadmap 2.0</a>, the first comic book will be issued in July of 2022. It will cover the larger meta narrative of the project, explain the magic system, and introduce characters.</li><li>MMORPG: <a href="https://www.forgottenrunes.com/posts/forgotten-runiverse-press-release">Magic Machine has partnered with Bisonic Inc</a> for a create-to-earn MMO. The game will be completely on-chain while drawing upon the expertise of folks from Maximum Games. Players will be able to battle, socialize, mint items, and quest.</li><li>TV Show: <a href="https://www.forgottenrunes.com/posts/titmouse" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Magic Machine has partnered with Titmouse</a>, creators of <em>Venture Brothers</em> and <em>Big Mouth</em>, for an anticipated hour-long show series. They’ve already chosen <em>John Wick</em> writer and creator Derek Kolstad to guide the series’ creation.</li></ul>



<p>We&#8217;re excited to see what the design studio and community add to the project. What future do you conjure for the runiverse? Feel free to tell us on Discord or Twitter!</p>


Have you heard of a sorcerer cult using NFTs to tell their story? The Forgotten Runes Wizard's Cult project wants to create its own Runiverse, combining adventure and above all, proof of lore.

<p><a href="https://www.luckynftigers.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lucky NFTigers</a> is a project founded by 4 entrepreneurs aiming to be registered as an <a href="https://www.rslartunion.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Australian Art Union</a>. It is thanks to this registration that we will be able to legally utilize NFTs and ETH in this lottery.</p>



<p>The project&#8217;s mission is to guarantee the optimal success rate while participating in one of the biggest Raffles in the ecosystem. Like any lottery, the entry price is low, but the prizes are high.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In short, the Lucky NFTigers project is an Elite Giveaway Community, which plans to enrich the holders in the form of Ethereum, NFT&#8217;s, and prize giveaways, just by holding one (or many) raffles. They aim to create a reputable, transparent business grown organically in the Crypto Community.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>The Lucky NFTigers tokenomics</h2>



<p>The collection has a supply of 10,000 NFTs that will be distributed in three waves. 3,333 Lucky NFTigers will be distributed in individual raffles.The opening date of the mint is not yet announced,</p>



<p>These NFTs will not be stacked as a proof of collateral, or used in a video game. However, each <a href="https://www.luckynftigers.io/LNFTWhitepaper.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lucky NFTigers NFT holder</a> will be eligible for the first 3 months for giveaways at the value of $1.29M USD across different prize pools. </p>



<p>Each Lucky NFTigers NFT will cost approximately $450 for whitelist/presale and $500 for public sale. Each address will be allowed to mint up to 4 Lucky NFTigers.</p>



<h2>The usecase of the Lucky NFTigers</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="222" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/lucky-nftigers-avatar-1024x222.jpg" alt="lucky nftigers avatar" class="wp-image-22799" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/lucky-nftigers-avatar-1024x222.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/lucky-nftigers-avatar-300x65.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/lucky-nftigers-avatar-768x166.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/05/lucky-nftigers-avatar.jpg 1299w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Being part of this elite giveaway community makes you eligible for several giveaways. The rewards are as follows:</p>



<ul><li>Monthly giveaway: $300,000 split up into different amounts (depending on the votes of the community)&nbsp;</li><li>Weekly giveaways: $25,000</li><li>Daily giveaways: $1000</li></ul>



<p>Since the supply is fixed, each NFT gives a one in 10,000 chance of winning. The more NFTs you own, the more likely you will be drawn.</p>



<p>The NFTs will also allow you to participate in the votes of the prizes to be won. It will be the community that decides if it wants to win a <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/boredapeclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BAYC</a>, a <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptopunks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoPunks</a> or a <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/moonbirds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Moonbirds</a>.</p>



<p>Each month, $25,000 will be donated to charitable projects located near the home of the project&#8217;s founders.</p>



<h2>What are the next steps?</h2>



<p>Once the mint is finished, in addition to the various lotteries to come, several objectives will already be in preparation:</p>



<ul><li>Roadmap 2.0 which will be an NFT raffle (capped at our odds of 1 in 10,000)</li><li>Rewards for certain traits in the original collection that will be revealed at a later date.&nbsp;</li><li>Parties in different cities with your Lucky NFTigers NFT acting as a ticket.</li><li>Lucky NFTiger merchandise&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>The rest of the project is therefore focused on two axes: lotteries for holders and donations to charities based in Australia.</p>

<p>They chose caps because of the simple fact: celebrities around the world wear them. All of them are unique and represent the one who wears it.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There are 1,111 CAP NFTs in the collection, all of which are randomly generated during the mint from over 110 different traits in 8 categories. Some of the more exciting traits you’ll see are the actual hat material, accessories, logos, shades, and of course nightclub effects in the background.</p>



<p>We know, it&#8217;s 2022, and profile pic NFTs are dead, so let&#8217;s get into the most important part &#8211; the utility of owning one of only 1,111 caps.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Presentation of the Meta Moose Club</strong></h2>



<p>The idea behind <a href="https://landing.metamooseclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Meta Moose Club</a> was born in December 2021 with the ambition to create a universe around hunting. The Meta Moose Club is a collection of 10,000 Moose NFT’s with 150+ hand-drawn traits on the Ethereum blockchain. Each and every moose is uniquely, programmatically generated.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The team behind the project is composed of 5 members :</p>



<ul><li>Jair: Co-Founder, Creator of MMC</li><li>Jocelyn: Co-Founder, Project Manager&nbsp;</li><li>Rosa: Marketing &amp; Community Manager</li><li>Justin: Artist</li><li>Andrey: Content Creator&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>The presale will open its doors during the month of April and promises many advantages to holders.</p>



<h2><strong>The Meta Moose Club roadmap</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="400" height="400" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain.jpg" alt="meta moose club mountain" class="wp-image-20150" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain.jpg 400w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-moutain-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" /></figure></div>



<p>The project will be divided into several phases, each of which will be an important step in the project. The first will take place in April and will be the pre-sale of the 10,000 Meta Moose Club (MMC) NFTs.</p>



<p>Owning one of these NFTs will allow entry into the next Play to Earn game the Meta Moose Club team is working on. Owning two will allow you to be on the whitelist for the 3D version of your Meta Moose.</p>



<p>Then, the second phase will be the introduction of Meta Moose 3D. During this phase, the 2000 Meta Moose 3D will be presented to the community.</p>



<p>The third phase will consist of the launch of Metamoose 3D. The final date will be announced later in their <a href="https://discord.com/invite/7sNeYYY4Zy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discord</a> or <a href="https://t.me/+ihltsLK9ueMwMDZh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Telegram</a>. The 4th phase will follow, which will allow you to buy exclusive Merch from the project.</p>



<p>Phase 5 will be important for the project because it will be the publication of the whitepaper of the game as well as the sale of Land! NFT holders will of course be privileged to be able to participate in this presale before it is opened to the public.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After an introduction to Celestial, the project token, the long-awaited moment of the project is announced for Q3 2023: the official launch of the Meta Moose Lodge Hunting Game beta.</p>



<h2><strong>The Meta Moose Lodge Hunting Game</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="690" height="692" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose.jpg" alt="meta moose club meta moose" class="wp-image-20148" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose.jpg 690w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/04/meta-moose-club-meta-moose-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px" /></figure></div>



<p>There is little information about this game scheduled for the third quarter of 2023. But it promises to be innovative! The Meta Moose Lodge would be the first of its kind: a decentralized blockchain based hunting platform where players are able to hunt, breed, buy, sell land, and build.</p>



<p>This launch phase will also be a test phase where players can report any bugs they see and improve the end game experience. Hunt for exotic animals, shoot the right one and you can win real prizes like trophies, rare NFTs, tokens and more!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Of course, it will be possible to breed its Meta Moose in order to obtain others. But that&#8217;s not all! You will be able to organize safaris on your Lands! It is therefore a real ecosystem that awaits these 3.0 hunters.</p>



<p>In order to fully contribute to the preservation of our wildlife, Meta Moose Club has made it a primary goal to donate to multiple wildlife charities which will all be community chosen!&nbsp;</p>

The MetaMoose Club is preparing a new kind of play-to-earn game: a hunter game! Be part of the presale which will happen this month.

Join the Meta Moose Club in a Play-to-Earn Game!


<p><strong>Robot Taekwon V PFP is a Klaytn-based 24×24 3D animation art using the intellectual property (IP) of Robot Taekwon V</strong>. NFTs will be minted in the same way like domestic and foreign projects and the only difference for this project is using the IP of Robot Taekwon V. In addition<strong>, this PFP NFT is unique in a way that it is made with the pure creative content which was made in Korea without imitating or dramatizing characters from overseas.</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Robot Taekwon V PFP will offer 5 NTFs, featuring 1976 Original, 1982 Super Taekwon V, 1984 84 Taekwon V, 1990 90 Taekwon V, and 2015 Master Taekwon V, and will issue 10,000 NFTs all with different characteristics and attributes. It is expected that the characters will come back with splendid appearance as the unique parts are added to the existing characters.</p>



<p><strong>Robot Taekwon V PFP will be launched on the official website on March 22, 2022.</strong></p>



<h2>What is Robot Taekwon V?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="937" height="350" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history.png" alt="robot taekwon V history" class="wp-image-18056" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history.png 937w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history-300x112.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/robot-taekwon-history-768x287.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px" /></figure></div>



<p>Robot Taekwon V, which is the legend in the Korean animation industry, is Korea&#8217;s first robot animation directed by Kim Chung-gi in 1976. After the first movie released, several sequels were produced in 1976, 1982, 1984, and 1990, and gained popularity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For people born in the 1970s and 1980s, in particular, the Taekwon V was a hero of childhood memories. Robot Taekwon V was almost forgotten from the public in the flood of animation films, and faced the risk of disappearing as the first edition was known to have been lost forever. However, the original film was miraculously discovered and there were many opportunities to remake the movie but failed.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although the plan to come back again was canceled, there has been good news recently that the Robot Taekwon V, a precious memory and legacy, will be permanently preserved as a non-fungible token (NFT). The hero of the childhood like Superman, and the icon of the era will be born again.</p>



<h2>The Robot Taekwon V Genesis Drop</h2>

<p><strong>The Genesis Drop on the Robot Taekwon V PFP will be released on March 15</strong>, a week before the official launching. This is an introductory version of limited edition of Taekwon V NFT which were made with 3D work. The Genesis Drop will be a 6-day event, with one character released each day, and all proceeds made during this period will be donated.</p>



<p>Five pieces of Genesis will be donated to victims of wildfires in Uljin and Samchuk in South Korea, and the 6<sup>th </sup>special edition of Genesis will go to organizations related to Ukraine that are suffering from the war. Minting NFTs will be auctioned on OpenSea, the world&#8217;s largest NFT marketplace.</p>

<p><strong>After launching the PFP, Robot Taekwon V plans to enter the Over The Top (OTT) service by making Robot Taekwon V animations.</strong> Also, multiple plans are scheduled; advertising with various media, characterization of Taekwon V games, entering the metaverse, and creating video contents for Taekwondo publicity.</p>



<p>Robot Taekwon V is Korea&#8217;s first animation character. The purpose of permanently preserving Taekwon V as NFT is to re-create the forgotten hero from the past into a new hero of the era. It is hoped that this project will settle down smoothly as a unique Korean representative character through various related projects rather than simply issuing NFTs.</p>

<h2><strong>NFT and Wine: The Establishment Offerings</strong></h2>



<p>Chateau Angelus has produced first-rate Bordeaux wine for over a hundred years and this century; they&#8217;ve expanded into NFTs. As with Nike’s shoes and Hublot’s watches, buying <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210712005180/en/Cult-Wines-Releases-NFT-of-Original-Digital-Artwork-Bordeaux-En-Primeur-Together-With-Chateau-Ang%C3%A9lus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">an Angelus NFT</a> entitles the owner to some of the brand’s products. In the case of Angelus, purchase includes a barrel of wine plus a virtual tasting with Angelus’ CEO and co-owner. Cult Wines, the organization Angelus collaborated with for this offering, will store the wine until it’s ready to drink.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines.jpg" alt="NFT Wine Cult Wines" class="wp-image-17930" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines.jpg 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines-300x300.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Cult-Wines-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /><figcaption><em>NFT Wine &#8211; Cult Wines</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Robert Mondavi Winery has collaborated with high-end porcelain manufacturer Bernardaud to create their own <a href="https://nft.robertmondaviwinery.com/pages/nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">distinct package</a>. Every package includes: an NFT of generative art that authenticates a Bernardaud-made porcelain magnum of the Mondavi brand’s 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon from its To Kalon (Greek for ‘the beautiful’) vineyard. For thos unfamiliar, a magnum is a wine bottle two-times the size of a standard 750 ml bottle. This NFT offering from late-2021 is limited to 1,966 bottles which references the year Robert Mondavi Winery was founded.</p>



<p>Five years into its existence, <a href="https://yaofamilywines.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yao Family Wines</a> led the Non-Fungible Token charge into fine spirits. The winery’s 2016 Chop (Chinese for ‘seal’) included another seal in the form of an NFT. That collectible NFT’s design features the number 11. This represents the year of the wine’s release as well as the jersey number <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/player/2397/career" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yao Ming</a> wore during his eight-year career in the National Basketball Association. Yes, it’s that Yao Ming!</p>



<h2>The future of wine and NFTs?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="533" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-1024x533.jpg" alt="NFT Wine Laava and Vinsent secure wine" class="wp-image-17924" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-1024x533.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-300x156.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine-768x399.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-Laava-and-Vinsent-secure-wine.jpg 1171w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>NFT Wine Laava and Vinsent secure wine</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>If you found the layered approache of the previous three projects intriguing, consider wine futures. In the same way that affluent individuals trade stock and commodities, they also trade wine futures. Buying a future means buying a wine while it’s still maturing in the barrel. And now they do so through NFTs. </p>



<p>The supply chain associated with traditional wine-trading marketplaces tends to absorb significant revenue from sellers and ups prices for buyers. <a href="https://laava.id/vinsent-wine-futures-with-nft-certification/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vinsent</a> provides a block-chain powered marketplace that brings wine-lovers closer to their desired tipple utilizing the security of Non-Fungible Tokens. </p>



<p>The on-chain marketplace also sidesteps the multibillion dollar counterfeit wine industry. If the proprietary code on the bottle fails to authenticate via a smartphone app that connects the code and the corresponding NFT, a potential buyer knows they’re far from the real thing.</p>



<h2>Metaverse integrated from the start</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="946" height="496" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam.jpg" alt="NFT Wine hellofam" class="wp-image-17932" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam.jpg 946w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam-300x157.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/NFT-Wine-hellofam-768x403.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 946px) 100vw, 946px" /><figcaption><em>NFT Wine <a href="https://hellofam.wine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hellofam</a></em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p><a href="https://hellofam.wine/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hello Fam</a> is a winery that builds in NFTs from the start. Their team combines traditional winery know-how with 21st century marketing and cryptopanache. Their first release — Genesis Vintage 2021 — was only available via an initial NFT offering late in 2021. One Grape Fam NFT of the vintage corresponds to ownership of a 6-bottle case, enough to fuel a Karen for an entire weekend.</p>



<p>Unlike the above projects <a href="https://bitwine.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BitWine</a> is simply digital art backed by… nothing. The pixel art draws upon the same elaborate classification schemes applied in the real wine world minus the bottles and alcohol content. BitWine loops back to NFTs roots in digital art and relies on wine’s history as much as its creators’ bona fides for success. The BitWine team includes an accredited sommelier, Lauren Vaile, and well-recognized pixel artist, Stephen Osborne.</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>Fine wine, like fine art, achieves its lasting richness through layering. NFTs have added one more layer that allows innovators and established wineries alike to expand into the metaverse. We’re curious to learn what new projects will ripen from the fresh blend of 21st century technology and millennia-old tradition now that creators and their audience are closer than ever!</p>


Welcome to the second iteration in our Non-Fungible Tokens and Traditional Life Series. Last time we met, you learned about how NFTs have wound their way into, around and through the sport of golf. Today, we’ll talk about another natural pairing: NFTs and wine!


NFTs and Traditional Life Series: Wine


<h2><strong>Introduction</strong></h2>



<p>Welcome to our series about NFTs and elements of traditional life, and what could be more traditional than Golf? Saying the word brings to mind exclusivity: country clubs where membership can cost tens of thousands of dollars annually, expensive equipment and attire that can be as pricey as it is garish. </p>



<p>Nonetheless, egalitarian NFTs have already made their way into all areas of the sport. From golf courses and country clubs to major players and equipment, they’re part of the 500 year old sport.</p>



<h2><strong>PGA Tour and the Sport’s Biggest Names</strong></h2>

<p>The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) will soon<a href="https://golf.com/news/pga-tour-nfts-coming-soon/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> offer NFTs</a> from its archive and members who choose to participate. Given the PGA’s Tour’s 2 million viewers, their substantial archive and roster of over 200 players, it’s easy to see how there’s money to be made. Tiger Woods has been one of the Tour’s biggest names for years.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Via Autograph, the company founded with Tom Brady, Woods has<a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-nft-collection-tom-brady-autograph-golf-pga-tour-highlights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> released over 10,000 NFTs</a>. Prices for this offering ranged from $100 to $1500, which allows plenty of access for fans of different socioeconomic statuses. Other professional golfers have sold NFTs as well.</p>



<p>In fact,<a href="https://golf.com/news/bryson-dechambeau-nft-trading-cards-crypto/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Bryson DeChambeau</a> became the first professional golfer to offer NFTs in the Spring of 2021. Perhaps efforts like those of Woods and DeChambeau will guide the PGA Tour’s approach to NFT releases. We can also look beyond long-established names and organizations to see how NFT projects have influenced the sport.</p>



<h2><strong>Crypto Country Clubs and a DAO Golf Course</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="484" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/buckets-club-NFT.jpg" alt="buckets club NFT" class="wp-image-17911" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/buckets-club-NFT.jpg 484w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/03/buckets-club-NFT-290x300.jpg 290w" sizes="(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px" /><figcaption>buckets club NFT</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Malbon, a golf equipment brand, <a href="https://www.golfdigest.com/story/malbon-golf-buckets-club-nft-digital-country-club-ethereum-cryptocurrency-blockchain-investment" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">offered pop culture infused NFTs</a> that permitted access to a&nbsp; country club in the metaverse called Buckets Club. Buyers of their 1,000 NFTs also gained access to the real-world events and other perks in addition to the club membership.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Buckets Club mirrors Malbon’s general brand approach: Malbon is a community, an ecosystem. We suspect this is a core reason why their first release immediately sold out: authenticity matters.</p>



<p>Before we get into the DAO Golf Course, what is a DAO? The acronym stands for a Decentralized Autonomous Organization. Unlike the centrally controlled PGA discussed above, a DAO’s hierarchy is flat and runs on the blockchain. DAO members share common interests in the metaverse that can include real-world artifacts. In the case of <a href="https://linksdao.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LinksDAO</a>, its members wish to<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/05/linksdao-raised-millions-selling-nfts-to-buy-a-golf-course.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> “democratize the country club membership.”</a> And many other folx share their vision.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Within 48 hours, the 9000-plus NFTs they offered brought in $10.4 million. The two membership tiers available cost about $700 and $2700 respectively. If these prices seem steep, compare them to the Medalist Village Golf Club Tiger Woods belongs to. Annual membership there runs $100,000.</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>Golf will likely remain a staple of traditional life for the well-heeled and would-be wealthy. For those of us outside the sculpturesque country club gate, NFTs hold promise to equalize access at the level of the golf course, community, and memorabilia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is in keeping with the underlying design of NFTs, in particular their distributed nature. Will the establishment push back? Or will it, against the odds, push forward and embrace the inclusivity NFTs facilitate as much as the revenue?&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>We like to think money will pave the way for further innovation.</strong></p>


Welcome to our series about NFTs and elements of traditional life, and what could be more traditional than Golf? Saying the word brings to mind exclusivity: country clubs where membership can cost tens of thousands of dollars annually, expensive equipment and attire that can be as pricey as it is garish. Nonetheless, egalitarian NFTs have already made their way into all areas of the sport. From golf courses and country clubs to major players and equipment, they’re part of the 500 year old sport.

NFTs and Traditional Life Series, Part 1: Golf


<p>Switzerland is known worldwide for its ability to create exemplary precision watches. Founded by Rafael Simoes Miranda, <a href="https://www.dwiss.com/?utm_source=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DWISS</a> has been making high-precision watches since 2011.Rafael Simoes Miranda has been designing watches since 2011 and has already won several international awards such as Red Dot Design Award. He is also a trained watch design teacher in Milan, Italy.</p>



<p>One year after its creation in 2011, DWISS won an International Design Award (IDA) thanks to its Niobium watch. Since then, DWISS has collected several other awards including: <a href="https://ifdesign.com/en/winner-ranking/project/dwiss-rw1/299262" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;IF design Awardn</a>,<a href="https://good-design.org/projects/dwiss-m3/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Good Design Australia</a>,<a href="https://www.productdesignaward.eu/winners/epda/2021/10342/#:~:text=DWISS%20(Design%20Watch%20Independent%20Switzerland,materials%2C%20and%20revolutionizing%20sales%20channels." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> European Product design</a>,<a href="https://www.idesignawards.com/winners-old/zoom.php?eid=9-26889-20" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> IDA Design Award</a>.</p>



<p>Today, the young company has decided to innovate by embarking on a new adventure: creating a collection of NFT watches that will be available to use in the metaverse!</p>



<h2>The DWISS NFT Watches</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/dwiss-nft-watches-giveaway.jpg" alt="dwiss nft watches giveaway" class="wp-image-13807"/><figcaption>DWISS NFT Watches</figcaption></figure>



<p>With a community of 100k+ members on the social medias and mailing list,, DWISS recently created its <a href="https://twitter.com/DwissWatch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a> account&nbsp; and a <a href="https://discord.gg/dwiss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discord</a> to be able to interact with this new community.</p>



<p>This community is the one that will help grow the fashion industry in the metaverse, and help create the first watch NFT. With a limited number of 10,000 copies, this drop will reserve several surprises and benefits for holders.</p>



<p>First, the holders will have the ability to claim the equivalent of $500,000 worth of products in the real world. Owning one of the NFT DWISS with a &#8220;diamond&#8221; characteristic will actually allow access to 200 physical watches (average price of $2,000). In addition, as long as the NFT is kept, a 15% discount will be applied on products in the DWISS range.</p>



<p>Regarding rarity traits, 5 are already defined. The first 4 will represent the primary elements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. As for the 5th, this will be the element of dark matter. But there will be 3 others that can be decided by the members of the <a href="https://discord.gg/dwiss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Discord</a>.</p>



<p>It will be enough for the community to show imagination and build&nbsp; the watch of its dreams in the metaverse! , Dreams that will be made reality by a conscientious professional in the industry..</p>



<h2>What is the DWISS Roadmap ?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/dwiss-nft-watch.jpg" alt="dwiss nft watch" class="wp-image-13804"/></figure></div>



<p>The first phase, construction, will consist of setting up the Smart Contract and <a href="https://www.dwiss.com/pages/nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the website page</a>. It is also during this period that the first suggestions by&nbsp; the community will be utilized to determine the three remaining rarity traits.</p>



<p>The second phase will have several elements: The promotion of the project to the outside, the activation of the presale for whitelisted users, the date of the public mint (0.1 $ETH) as well as the finition of the smart contract and the giveaway of 100 watches with the average retail value of $1,000 USD to the winners of the <a href="https://sweepwidget.com/view/50263-em0pqj8g" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">giveaways</a>.</p>



<p>Once the mint date is determined, phase three can begin! First it will be opened for the whitelisted, after that the public sales. The time will come to reveal phase 4! This will also be the time for 200 holders to receive 200 watches with the evarage retail value of $2,000 USD.</p>



<p>Phase 5 and 6 will focus on the integration of watches into the Decentraland and The Sandbox metaverses. But also the possibility of having skins for smartwatch and integration in AR! </p>

<h2>Presentation of Party Horses</h2>



<p><a href="https://www.partyhorses.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Party Horses</a> is a collection of 10,000 horse avatars in festive colors coming soon! Horse lovers and fans of the Kentucky Derby rejoice, and get ready to own your own NFT horse! </p>



<p>Originally from Louisville, Kentucky, the horse racing capital of the world, the Party Horses team came together around very simple goals: “Use Web3 for good, have fun, create beauty, destabilize the disappointing, and collaborate with others to build amazing things.”</p>



<p>The project was co-founded by two entrepreneurial horse racing super fans: Justin Delaney, a serial entrepreneur and Brook Smith, a philanthropist and racehorse owner.</p>



<p>To accompany them in this adventure, they’ve put together a lineup of professionals to help them accomplish their goals. :</p>



<ul><li>Izaak Prats, an experienced software engineer whose pedigree includes Meta (formerly Facebook).</li><li>Joey Wagner an event planner</li><li>Camilla Staerk and Helena Christensen creative consultants</li></ul>



<p>Many others, including other Louisville-based Web3 enthusiasts have joined up with the Party Horses team to help make it a reality!</p>



<h2>The Party Horses drop</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/party-horses-8.png" alt="party horses" class="wp-image-13784" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/party-horses-8.png 500w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/party-horses-8-300x300.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/party-horses-8-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure></div>



<p>The drop will contain several surprises for its users. Its first digital event, March 1, 2022,will allow the first 2000 early adopters to mint a special “Pregame” NFT. This NFT will enable you to obtain a bottle of special edition bourbon from Maker&#8217;s Mark (provided if you are 21 years old) as well as Whitelist access to the public mint.</p>



<p>On March 15, the party really begins. Participants who have minted the “Pregame” NFTs will automatically be whitelisted and also be able to mint at a discounted price. 9700 Party Horses will be available to mint. </p>



<p>It is important to note, that among the 300 NFTs that cannot be minted that day, 100 will be reserved for the team. 100 NFTs will be given away during parties and marketing events. 100 NFTs will be placed in the community treasury.&nbsp;</p>

Bourbon + Racing + NFTs = Party Horses!


<h2>A predecessor to celebrity NFTs from 1997?</h2>



<p>Often, long before most of us try out something — an exercise regimen, food or an art form —&nbsp; a celebrity or influencer seems to have arrived there first. You might reasonably think that celebrity and influencer NFTs of recent years are a new attempt by well-known individuals to capitalize on their digital identities.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, in true David Bowie style, the legendary stardust cowboy arrived there first in 1997. That year, Bowie offered securities backed by the royalties that his sizable catalogue of music would pay out over the course of a decade. Investors possessed a share in the future royalties, not the intellectual property itself.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Much the same is true of NFTs. If I buy some aspect of an artist’s work, identity, or other intellectual property, I only possess a representation of that property, not the property itself.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Flawed human beings and NFTs</h2>



<p>In other words, if I buy an NFT that represents Timothée Chalamet’s intellectual property, then I’m investing in the future perceived value of the person and his work. And because we live firmly in the era of #metoo and cancel culture, an investment in the highly public image of flawed human beings who can commit a gaffe at any place or time does feel a bit dubious.&nbsp;</p>



<p>So far, celebrity NFT offerings have reflected this risky proposition. John Cena, a wrestler-turned-actor, collaborated with World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. to sell bundles of goods included with NFTs for a $1000 each. Hardly any sold. The same has been the case with Quentin Tarantino’s uncut scenes from Pulp Fiction.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Little will grow from the thin digital soil that most celeb NFTs sprout from. Look for richer, more layered ground rather than a stand-alone, blurry iPhone photo of Gwyneth Paltrow’s dog. As with more traditional products, consumers can parse thoughtful design and engaged creators from opportunists seeking a hasty cash-grab.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="338" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-1024x338.jpg" alt="tarantino nft" class="wp-image-13618" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-1024x338.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-300x99.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft-768x253.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/tarantino-nft.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Tarantino NFTs</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><strong>Authenticity matters to would-be celebrity NFT buyers</strong>. Value matters as well. The rare successful celebrity NFT offering has more depth behind it. Paris Hilton joined the NFT community before she made her metaverse offering in a collaboration with artist Blake Kathryn. The credibility gained from exploring the space transferred neatly to her offering. At the same time, her NFTs coincide with her pre-NFT brand: luxury lifestyle, youth, and layers and layers of pink. Consistency pairs well with authenticity. This dynamic is true for Snoop Dogg as well.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="269" height="259" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/snoop-dog-the-sandbox.jpg" alt="snoop dog the sandbox" class="wp-image-13617"/><figcaption>The Sandbox &#8211; Snoop Dogg parcels</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>His credibility as a businessman and multimedia cultural icon appears to have transferred smoothly to the metaverse. Of course, it helps that Snoop has spent millions on NFTs in addition to selling them. He recently informed the world that he’s an NFT whale with a collection valued at $17M.</p>



<h2>Abiding strengths</h2>



<p>The underlying benefits that NFTs offer still hold true, with each one held immutable on the blockchain, NFTs are secure and provably authentic with their entire history publicly viewable. NFTs are still true to their name — unique and not-to-be-duplicated — thus providing a means to validate identity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>What’s more, NFTs are on-trend and whilst celebrity and influencer NFT offerings have often fared poorly, those same individuals do tremendous work to publicize and legitimize the NFT ecosystem to a wider public.</p>



<p>Is there a template they can follow to gain greater traction in the NFT world? Or will they follow the template of Bowie Bonds, which lost value due broader record industry issues?&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>It seems unlikely that the latter will come true given the great versatility of NFT usage, their popularity and the ingenuity of the artists who create them.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Source: <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/business-35280945" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bowie Bonds</a> &#8211; <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/26/paris-hilton-has-invested-in-crypto-since-2016-heres-why-shes-betting-big-on-nfts-and-the-metaverse.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paris Hilton NFTs</a> &#8211; <a href="https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/nfts-by-celebrities-like-grimes-john-cena-and-a-ap-rocky-fall-in-value" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Failed celeb NFTs</a> &#8211; <a href="https://decrypt.co/81478/snoop-dogg-ethereum-nft-whale-cozomo-medici" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Snoop Dogg’s NFT collection / worth $17M</a> </p>


What’s the difference between Bowie’s offering from 25 years ago and celeb NFTs today? NFTs are not necessarily asset-backed. Some NFTs correspond to real world or digital property, whereas others simply stand by themselves.

Celebrities and NFTs: what’s all the hype about?


<h2><strong>Who is behind Bottup.io?</strong></h2>



<p><a href="https://bottup.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bottup.io</a> is a Singapore-based startup established in April 2021 that pairs the possibilities offered by Non-fungible Tokens with the team&#8217;s knowledge of craft beer. Bottup was founded by three beer-loving friends who aim to disrupt the alcoholic beverage industry :</p>



<ul><li><strong>Mario Nube</strong>: The brew master. He’s currently a critic and an advisor for local alcoholic beverage productions.</li><li><strong>Andy Velsk</strong>: The artist and creative lead. Andy has over 12 years of&nbsp; animation experience under his belt with expertise in games, comics, and art direction.</li><li><strong>Lawrence Lin</strong>: Lawrence has been driving digital innovation and revenue growth for the past 15 years. He has 5 years of experience in the cryptocurrency industry, having founded a SEA-licensed exchange as well as an industry-leading crypto finance platform.</li></ul>



<p>&nbsp;This passionate team is working together to create a beer enhanced with the taste of caramel, dark chocolate and coffee. Bottup wants to create a new brand, built for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts, without intermediary to reduce the sometimes excessive costs of the usual distribution system.&nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-container-62fcb6d0158c6 wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center">
<div class="wp-block-button"><a class="wp-block-button__link" href="https://opensea.io/collection/bottup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Participate in the presale!</a></div>
</div>



<h2><strong>More than a simple beer</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="538" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-1024x538.jpeg" alt="bottup.io bottle" class="wp-image-13608" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-1024x538.jpeg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-300x158.jpeg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle-768x403.jpeg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottup.io-bottle.jpeg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>With this new brand, the Bottup team wants to make full use of the potential offered by web3 to create an innovative experience for its consumers. First of all, the team has been brewing up special craft beer recipes that come with their own intriguing metaverse characters and stories, starting with this first beer line Bottup Dunkel.&nbsp;</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>“<em>It is our desire to produce fine craft beer brews and share them globally through NFT and e-commerce distribution, free of the expensive supply chains and distribution networks that multinational alcohol companies take centralized control over</em>”,</p><cite>Bottup.io&#8217;s team</cite></blockquote>



<p>The team is also developing BOTTUP Protocol, a Web 3.0 DeFi ecosystem initiative for all stakeholders in the alcoholic beverage network. These include :</p>



<ul><li>The producers (microbreweries or distillers)</li><li>The distributors (supply chain channels and logistics)</li><li>The retailers (online websites or bars)</li><li>The consumers (influencers or fans of the micro producer products)</li></ul>



<p>Through the utility token BOTTUP, Bottup can entice all the stakeholders on the network by providing relevant and rewarding use cases, such as NFT Auction and Staking capabilities.</p>



<h2><strong>The Bottup Dunkel NFT</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll.jpg" alt="bottupio troll" class="wp-image-13609" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2022/02/bottupio-troll-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure></div>



<p>Bottup&#8217;s NFTs will have several uses. First of all, the fact that you can have the beer sent to your home to enjoy it, anywhere in the world. But also, each NFT has a character that can be used in several ways. </p>



<p>In the future, there will be more use cases that will be added but these have not yet been announced. But let&#8217;s focus on the existing, what are the NFTs already available?</p>



<p>On February 14th, the project is listing a limited number of Bottup Dunkel NFTs on marketplace for sale, including very few rare “legendary” NFTs, as part of a special pre-sale event in preparation for the open public order for Bottup Dunkel beer. <a href="https://bit.ly/BottupNFT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bottup NFT collection is available through this link</a>.</p>



<p>Then, it is important to know that the goblins present on the bottles can be used later in the metaverses. The tokenomics to understand how these monsters can be used to generate $BOTTUP will be raised soon, but the concept of &#8220;drink to earn&#8221; (virtually) is evoked!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Collecting is above all a passion for many people, in theory, it’s possible to create a collection of just about anything: stamps, beans, perfumes, clothes, postcards, garden dwarfs..you get my point!&nbsp;</p>



<p>As long as it remains a pleasure, as long as it makes the collector happy then collecting is not a problem. As soon as it becomes an obsession to the point of becoming harmful to the collector or his entourage, passion becomes an addiction. Digital collecting is now becoming categorized as &#8220;a new addiction&#8221; in the same way as compulsive shopping or cyberaddiction is.</p>



<p>Collecting requires being rigorous and setting clear goals before moving on to the purchase. This practice has existed since the dawn of time and has become an art. Thanks to digital scarcity made possible due to the blockchain, what do NFTs in the &#8220;collectibles&#8221; segment really represent to people today?</p>



<h2><strong>NFT Collectibles are not Art</strong></h2>



<p>To avoid confusion with the rest of this article, it is necessary to clarify that collectibles should not be categorized as art. Although it is possible to collect works of art, the use of collectibles in the NFT ecosystem is far removed from what art is.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s a fine line, but it does exist. To fully understand what differentiates collectibles from art, we invite you to read our two previous articles:</p>



<ul><li><a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/the-cryptoart-movement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">What is the crypto-art movement?</a></li><li><a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/art-of-nfts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Art and NFTs.</a></li></ul>



<p>If virtual collectibles are to be separated from art, it is for a reason: they have a use and are usually attached to a project. Even if artists have previously worked on the visual aspect of the collectibles, the purpose of its existence will not only have the purpose of existing for art.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Examples of Collectible NFTs</strong></h2>



<p>So, what are NFT Collectibles? We have seen several ways to develop projects around this segment, some have the sole purpose of serving as a collector&#8217;s item, others belong to other segments such as video games.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are some projects and experiments that can be used as a reference to define this segment.</p>



<h3><strong>Profile Pictures : Meebits, Bored Ape Yacht Club, CryptoPunks</strong></h3>



<p>In 2021, shortly after the success of the sale of the <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/boredapeclub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bored Ape Yacht Club</a>, LarvaLabs&#8217; <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/meebits" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Meebits</a> project was also sold out in less than a day. These two sales were the prelude to a fashion that would last all summer: Profile Pictures.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/BAYC-Meebits-number-of-sales-1024x576.jpg" alt="BAYC Meebits number of sales" class="wp-image-11084"/><figcaption>BAYC vs Meebits number of sales</figcaption></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/BAYC-Meebits-USD-volume.jpg" alt="BAYC Meebits USD volume" class="wp-image-11085"/><figcaption>BAYC vs Meebits USD volume</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Profile pictures (PFP) are avatars that have been generated through an algorithm. The characteristics that constitute each avatar are created upstream and can take several forms:</p>



<ul><li>Earrings</li><li>Glasses</li><li>Hat</li><li>Skin color</li><li>Tee-shirt</li><li>Pendant</li><li>Piercing</li><li>Species (alien, robot, zombie etc..)</li></ul>



<p>Some of the features are rarer than others, so avatars that possess them will be more sought after, for BAYC and Meebits, the characteristics were defined randomly during the mint.</p>



<p>Before BAYC and Meebits, it was mostly <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/cryptopunks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CryptoPunks</a> that served as Profile Pictures signifying OG status in the NFT space. Displaying these made it possible to publicly show your inherent belonging to the NFT community. But with the arrival of newcomers to the ecosystem since the 2020 lockdowns, the desire to &#8220;be part of an NFT community&#8221; has broadened.</p>



<p>Then came the &#8220;NFT Summer&#8221;, with so much PFP-type project creation that it ended up flooding the market. We were able to see in our <a href="https://nonfungible.com/reports/2021/en/q3-quarterly-nft-market-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT Q3 2021</a> report the trend of selling, at a loss, some NFT projects such as collectibles.</p>



<h3><strong>Collectible Cards and badges</strong></h3>



<p>Collectible card NFTs have only one purpose: to be collected, they can represent players of well-known sports, key moments in life or historical events.</p>



<p>On the Wax blockchain for example, it is possible to find IPs known as Hot Wheels or MLB. On Ethereum, the <a href="https://curionft.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oncurio</a> project offers Collectibles from Mars Attack, Heavy Metal or Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.</p>



<p>Badges are also collectible NFTs but have a different purpose other than just cards. They are usually used to reward users after completing a number of tasks.</p>



<p>This is the case, for example, with the <a href="https://enjin.io/blog/microsoft-azure-heroes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft Azure program</a> that distributes NFTs to reward learning efforts on its platform. Before them, it was Gitcoin who were already doing this with the Kudos.</p>



<h3><strong>Blockchain Games and Collectibles</strong></h3>



<p>Generally, the NFTs that can be used in video games are equipment such as weapons or armor. But there are, however, some NFT use cases related to the video game environment.</p>



<p>The best example is the Trading Card Game <a href="https://nonfungible.com/market-tracker/godsunchained" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gods Unchained</a>, where several card qualities exist:</p>



<ul><li>Meteorite : common</li><li>Shadow : uncommon</li><li>Gold : rare</li><li>Diamond : very rare</li></ul>



<p>The quality of the map will not change anything in the gameplay during the game, this feature is primarily for collectors.</p>



<p>Another interesting example of use comes from the game Illuvium. Illuvium aims to be a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) using NFTs and blockchain as the center of the game. For their presale, NFTs are promotional badges and emotes to use in the game!</p>



<p>Another form that NFTs can take as a collector&#8217;s item are &#8220;skins&#8221;. The appearances of certain weapons or characters are also assets to collect. In the game Lightnite inspired by Fornite, a marketplace allows you to exchange different appearances of weapons that can be used in the game. This is also the case for the Battle Royale style game Blankos which has its own marketplace.</p>



<h2><strong>NFT Collectibles are part of the digital identity</strong></h2>



<p>It is important to remember that &#8220;real ownership&#8221; is a notion strongly rooted in the identity of the crypto universe. Collectors like to own things as diverse as they are varied, so it&#8217;s natural to find this behavior in the NFT ecosystem.</p>



<p>Collectible NFTs therefore take many forms and are not just randomly generated avatars. They are as much part of the small as they are the big things of the virtual everyday lifestyle.&nbsp;</p>


"Collectible" NFTs can be similar to digital collectibles, but there is a fine line between collectibles and the art segment, so how do we define what are and are not collectibles?

NFT Collectibles: What are they?


<p>We spoke in a <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/future-wearable-nft-with-cryptowatches" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous article</a> about Crypto Watches, the NFT that is designed specifically for smartwatches. Indeed different collections, created in partnership with well-known brands and artists, will be available soon giving you the opportunity to <strong>customise your branded NFT watch interface</strong>.</p>



<p>It will also soon be possible to interact with your environment, connect with community members or share your collection with other Crypto Watches users.</p>



<p>In order to further complete this <strong>fusion between luxury and NFT wearables</strong>, it’s essential to have a secure and easy-to-use location to exchange these assets. This place is called <a href="https://watchskins.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch Skins</a>, the dedicated marketplace where users can buy and sell Crypto Watches, as well as download the apps to make them function on your Apple, Android or Samsung smartwatch.</p>



<h2><strong>A valuable Watch App Marketplace</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="WatchSkins" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1AoxYvrHYgc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Creating a community link between the different users of Crypto Watches is one thing, but the Watch Skins marketplace brings complementary features that will create <strong>a new kind of business relationship</strong>.</p>



<p>The benefits of using blockchain and NFTs are numerous, both for users and brands:</p>



<ul><li>Creating community</li><li>Creators can express their individuality</li><li>Low manufacturing cost</li><li>Prevention of counterfeiting</li><li>Ability to verify rarity</li></ul>



<p>This list is obviously not exhaustive, but already gives an overview of <strong>the different advantages of using NFTs,</strong> to be able to deliver NFTs as branded products and also for the end user to easily check the rarity or authenticity of their digital items.</p>



<p>This makes it possible to create a relationship of trust, which has become indispensable today for any exchange of digital value. The Watch Skins marketplace is a semi-centralized intermediary, thus combining <strong>curation </strong>and <strong>decentralized signature</strong> of content.</p>



<h2><strong>A great choice of personalization</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1000" height="375" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace.png" alt="watch skins marketplace" class="wp-image-10390" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace.png 1000w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace-300x113.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/12/watch-skins-marketplace-768x288.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure></div>



<p>The central element of Watch Skins is the extensive freedom that creators will have in customizing their watch. Although the basic collections have pre-determined elements, other elements open up a much wider field of possibilities!</p>



<p>For example, creators will be able to earn perpetual royalties from sales, have creations that change shape over time, hold the ability to transfer their artistic work, and have these creations curated according to several categories including:</p>



<ul><li>Sports and athletes&nbsp;</li><li>Music</li><li>Entertainment</li><li>Automotive</li><li>Celebrities and influencers</li><li>Video games</li><li>Digital art</li><li>Existing watch and fashion brands&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>These categories aim to better showcase the different artistic directions, thus allowing brands to better target their audience and also highlight each artist&#8217;s specialities.</p>



<p>Thanks to these personalization aspects and the personal interactions developed between the different actors in this ecosystem, the value of Watch Skins lies in the versatile nature of the content offered.</p>



<p>Luxury brands will be able to release exclusive works adapted for high end&nbsp; accessories but this will not prevent users from accessing more affordable content and participating in the community.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>



<p>The NFT market lends itself well to the relationship between digital and physical accessories, an alliance in which Watch Skins looks to offer an entire turnkey ecosystem for owners of connected watches.</p>



<p>The Watch Skins marketplace forges a link between buyers and creators. The cornerstone of their value proposition: use of licensed content on the blockchain to certify the origin and legitimacy of wearable artistic work, making it possible to verify with certainty that the asset purchased is authentic.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Although the worlds of Non-fungible and &#8220;Phygital&#8221; are very young industries, Watch Skins and Crypto Watches are forerunners in the game with a promising future rich in new digital experiences both inside and outside the Metaverse!</p>

We talked in a previous article about Crypto Watches, the wearable NFT for smartwatches. Today we present to you with Watch Skins, the marketplace that allows you to exchange these NFTs!

Introducing the Watch Skins Marketplace


<h2><strong>Warner Bros &amp; Nifty’s Partnership</strong></h2>



<p>In a recent article we returned to look at the possibilities offered by <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/movie-industry-turning-towards-nfts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFTs for the Film industry</a>. With a view to finding ways to connect with audiences that are increasingly innovative, Warner Bros. has partnered with NFT Nifty&#8217;s</p>



<p>This is not the first partnership between Nifty&#8217;s and Warner, indeed, several <a href="https://niftys.com/spacejam?s=2z7X" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT drops from the Space Jam movie</a> have already taken place on the platform this year in the form of collectible trading cards making it possible to trade your favorite Space Jam characters.</p>



<p>A second experiment seeks to take the experience even further, especially with Matrix Resurrections. The film hits theaters on December 22nd 2021 but the story in Web3 will begin on November 30th.</p>



<p>We will find out in this article what awaits you, but the partnerships this year between the big film production studios and the NFT marketplaces augur many surprises for next year!</p>



<h2><strong>The Nifty’s Marketplace and the Palm Sidechain</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="438" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm.jpg" alt="niftys and palm" class="wp-image-10269" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm-300x128.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/niftys-and-palm-768x329.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>The <a href="https://niftys.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nifty&#8217;s</a> platform offers a smooth NFT shopping experience as the marketplace uses the Palm sidechain. There are two ways to buy NFTs on the Nifty’s marketplace:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>Thanks to your credit card, you will be able to buy the basic avatars directly.</li><li>To use a <a href="https://app.palm.io/bridge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bridge</a> to make a crypto (in $DAI, $WETH or $PRT) deposit to your Palm account.&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>Take note that when depositing cryptos, it will take a few hours before you can see them appear on your Palm account.</p>



<p>Also, NFTs purchased on Palm use the ERC-721 standard and can be withdrawn to Ethereum. That said, it is still important to note that it will only be possible to withdraw its NFTs on Ethereum when the Palm sidechain enables it.</p>



<h2><strong>A 100,000 Matrix PFP Collection</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="333" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-base-avatar.jpg" alt="Matrix niftys PFP base" class="wp-image-10267" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-base-avatar.jpg 333w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-base-avatar-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /><figcaption> <em>Nifty&#8217;s Matrix normal male avatar</em> </figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Now that the preparations are done, let&#8217;s take a closer look at what this <a href="https://niftys.com/events/matrix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT avatar dro</a>p is.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This avatar, as you can imagine, is full of surprises! This is a Profile Picture (PFP) collection and one of the first unusual aspects of it is the supply. No less than 100,000 NFTs will be available at $50 each, making it <strong>the largest PFP collection created so far</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Also, it is important to know that there will be a purchase limit of 25 avatars per account and perd day, the goal being that a maximum of people can participate in the event.</p>



<p>The first stage of this sale will take place on November 30th and it will be possible to acquire 1 or more &#8220;base&#8221; avatars of the franchise. These avatars will be randomly distributed among participants and will have several different characteristics: jewelry, clothing, shoes, hair color, and accessories..</p>



<p>So many NFTs have been planned, on one hand this is because it’s the first time a mainstream IP such as the Matrix has created a PFP collection but also because these avatars will evolve..</p>



<h2><strong>The Matrix NFTs future use cases</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="333" height="500" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-woke-avatar.jpg" alt="Matrix niftys PFP awake" class="wp-image-10268" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-woke-avatar.jpg 333w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Matrix-PFP-woke-avatar-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /><figcaption><em>Nifty&#8217;s Matrix evolved male avatar</em></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Then, two weeks later, on December 16th, you will be offered a choice. A choice between two pills, a blue and a red one. You know the story: if you choose the blue pill, your avatar will remain in the matrix. If you choose the red one, your avatar will turn into a resistance fighter and therefore change aesthetics.</p>



<p><em>“But I can only show you the door. You’re the one that has to walk through it.”</em></p>



<p>Your base avatar will become an avatar awakened or not in the matrix. In both cases, missions will be proposed to continue to evolve your character. These missions will aim to improve your score on a red or blue leaderboard, allowing you to gimper in the ranking and then earn rarer NFTs.</p>



<p class="has-vivid-red-color has-text-color">Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article. No content or article should be considered as financial advice. We strongly recommend you to conduct due diligence and always do your own research before investing in a project.</p>


“You take the blue pill...the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill...you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”


The Matrix NFT Avatars are coming to Nifty’s!


<p>Before 2018 and the ERC-721 standard for Non-Fungible Tokens, some projects appeared to push the boundaries of what was possible to achieve on Ethereum, best known is obviously CryptoPunks, but before that, there were also others.</p>



<p>In 2017, PonderWare decided to create a whole project around a virtual and <strong>pixelated cat rescue</strong>. We are not talking about CryptoKitties but about the MoonCats project! To save these poor cats lost in space, it was necessary to randomly generate them from the smart contract.</p>



<p>Indeed it took a very long time to save all these little cats but finally after four years almost all of the 25,440 cats were rescued, well, almost because 160 <em>genesis cats</em> will remain on the Moon forever following a vote by the community.</p>



<h2><strong>How did the distribution go?</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="871" height="526" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution.jpeg" alt="Mooncat Rescue distribution" class="wp-image-10051" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution.jpeg 871w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution-300x181.jpeg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/Mooncat-Rescue-distribution-768x464.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 871px) 100vw, 871px" /></figure></div>



<p>All this time, these cats were almost abandoned on the Moon. But no fear, this is no longer the case today! Since NFTs gained great popularity and thanks to crypto-archaeologists, this year <strong>a new community has been created around MoonCats</strong>.</p>



<p>First, let&#8217;s look at the Ponderware team:</p>



<ul><li>David Scarpetti : Founder &amp; Lead Dev</li><li>Brooks Boyd : Community Member Prime &amp; Senior Dev</li><li>Jason&nbsp; : Founder</li><li>Anna Marie Privitere:&nbsp; Community Manager &amp; Project Manager</li><li>Dan Millar: Developer&nbsp;</li><li>Mark Darling: Junior Developer</li><li>PixelLitterbox: Social Media Manager &amp; Accessory Artist</li></ul>



<p>It is always interesting to see how the distribution went as well as how the NFTs were generated. Ponderware applied itself to having a fair distribution as well as the most random generation possible.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="How to adopt a cat on Adoption Center" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0Ww04EFUcPc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>Since all MoonCats were adopted, the project has evolved with many new features and the community has developed a space roadmap.</p>



<h2><strong>A complete MoonCats universe</strong></h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="740" height="752" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/mooncat-accessory.jpg" alt="mooncat accessory" class="wp-image-10048" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/mooncat-accessory.jpg 740w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/mooncat-accessory-295x300.jpg 295w" sizes="(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></figure></div>



<p>The evolution that the project has undergone since its rediscovery has been dazzling! It has now become a much more complete ecosystem that has put its community at the center of decision making.</p>



<p>First of all, the accessories.. it&#8217;s possible to include additional elements to customize your cat! Just go to the <a href="https://mooncat.community/accessory-designer" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accessory designer</a> page to create a hat, a sweater or gloves for your MoonCat.</p>



<p>If the creative energy is not there, there is an <a href="https://boutique.mooncat.community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">accessory shop</a> to look for something to dress your cat in.</p>



<p>Beyond the accessories, another initiative is particularly interesting, <a href="https://mooncat.community/lootprints-faq" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lootprint.</a> Inspired by the Loot project, each Mooncat owner is able to have the opportunity to mint his Lootprint which in turn&nbsp; creates a rocket to explore space!</p>



<h3><strong>Want to get involved in the MoonCat ecosystem?</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/MoonCatPop.jpg" alt="MoonCatPop" class="wp-image-10050" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/MoonCatPop.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/MoonCatPop-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/MoonCatPop-1024x576.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/11/MoonCatPop-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></figure></div>



<p>An offer came in that the MoonCats could not pass up to create their own flavors of <a href="https://pop.mooncat.community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoonCatPop</a>, a virtual soda NFT that begins minting on Wednesday Nov 24th. In the first batch, 84 MoonCats elected to become Spokescats, each repping their own soda designs and flavours. Each vending machine dispenses 100 photorealistic animated can NFTs at just 0.05 ETH each. Once they sell out, they are gone for good!</p>



<p>If running your own vending machine is something you are interested in, there will be another opportunity for MoonCat cuddlers to snag a vending machine later this year. So keep your diamond paws ready to slap that mint button, and join the friendly <a href="https://discord.gg/mooncats" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MoonCatCommunity discord</a>.</p>



<h2><strong>The MoonCats roadmap</strong></h2>



<p>Looking at the <a href="https://mooncat.community/roadmap" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roadmap</a>&nbsp; planned for the Mooncats, the stages are enough to make any metaverse lovers dream come true. Several of them have already been initiated starting with &#8220;Astral Projection&#8221;. There are now dedicated spaces in Isotile or The Sandbox where it is possible to see your Moontcat evolve!</p>



<p>The next short-term steps will be to be able to change your name (Autographs), be more present on-chain (Chain Gang) or have a dedicated game (Sportballs).</p>



<p>For the long term, the search for their home planet (Deep Space) seems to be an important step. The desire to create different musical elements (Discordant Meows), tell their story (Linguistics) or the mysterious quest &#8220;Treasure Planet&#8221; are part of the next steps in the journey.</p>



<p><strong>The challenges that await these little cats are still numerous, but with a close-knit community like theirs, travelling through space should not be a problem!</strong></p>

After the rescue of the MoonCats, their adventure continues! Have you heard about these OG NFT cats and their universe? Let's introduce them to you!

What’s coming next after the rescue of the MoonCats?


<p>We talked in a<a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/cryptocom-nft-marketplace-exclusive-drops"> previous article</a> about the different collections that were launching on Crypto.com NFT. Artwork by <strong>Snoop Dogg</strong>, <strong>BossLogic, </strong>and the <strong>Aston Martin Cognizant Formula One™ team </strong>dropped exclusively on the platform.</p>



<p>Today, <strong>world-renowned artists</strong> continue to offer NFTs on Crypto.com NFT, but equally important news has recently been announced: the reduction of buyer and seller fees in the Marketplace!</p>



<h2>Low fees and minting open for everyone</h2>

<p>The ability to mint NFTs directly on the platform was highly-anticipated by many users. Previously, you had to do so through the Crypto.com NFT team, but now, any user can fill out a form and <strong>become a creator!</strong></p>



<p>The video above shows step-by-step instructions on <strong>how to mint</strong> your first NFT on the popular platform and sell it in the Marketplace. In addition to this feature, users will be able to enjoy lower fees for a limited time!</p>



<p>Until December 31, 2021, Crypto.com NFT is offering reduced fees for <strong>primary </strong>or <strong>secondary </strong>sales, from 5% to <strong>1.99%</strong>.</p>



<h2>New and future drops on Crypto.com</h2>

crypto.com continues the development of its NFT marketplace with new drops and a special promotion until the end of the year!

New drops on Crypto.com and lower minting fees!


<p>One NFT use case that has accelerated this year is in donating a portion of profits from their sales to charity. Some projects go even further than this and are dedicating their work towards a <strong>humanitarian </strong>or <strong>ecological </strong>cause.</p>



<p>More and more crypto players are aware of <strong>charity donations</strong>, so it is natural to see more <strong>specialized projects growing </strong>in this area and this is the case for <a href="https://www.military.finance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">military.finance</a>, which was created around a very simple idea: to raise funds to support US military veterans and other affiliated organizations.</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the way this will work as well as the NFT collection to launch on <strong>October 31st</strong>.</p>



<h2>Presentation of Military.finance</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="905" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation.jpg" alt="military finance taya chris kyle fondation" class="wp-image-9405" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation.jpg 1200w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation-300x226.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation-1024x772.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-taya-chris-kyle-fondation-768x579.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><figcaption>Military.finance</figcaption></figure></div>



<p><a href="https://www.military.finance/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Military.Finance</a> was created on May 10th, 2021 as a cryptocurrency focused on <strong>helping veterans</strong>. </p>



<p>Having chosen the <strong>Binance Smart Chain</strong> in particular to avoid Ethereum transaction fees, to date military.finance has donated $50,000 to two veteran charity programs:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>John Daly and Major Ed &#8211; Heart of a Lion Foundation (<a href="http://www.jdme.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.jdme.org</a>) $20,000 donated on June 2, 2021.</li><li>Taya and Chris Kyle Foundation (www.tackf.org) $30,000 donated on July 13, 2021.</li></ul>



<p>In addition, these operations were able to raise over $15,000, directly donated to <strong>veterans</strong> and <strong>soldiers</strong> in need featuring different programmes to accept the donations :</p>



<ul><li>A Soldier’s Wish Program</li><li><a href="https://www.military.finance/help" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Help a Vet Program</a></li><li><a href="https://www.military.finance/sas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Surprise a Soldier</a></li><li><a href="https://www.military.finance/rescue" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Rescue</a></li><li><a href="http://www.heroicheartsproject.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heroic Hearts Project </a>(treating veterans with PTSD using Ayahuasca &amp; Psychedelic Therapy</li></ul>



<p>These various operations for the American armed forces have been a great success: until then very few actions have existed to allow these kind of initiatives.</p>



<h2>NFTs in memory of U.S. heroes</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1884" height="629" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts.jpg" alt="military finance Heroic hearts" class="wp-image-9404" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts.jpg 1884w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-300x100.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-1024x342.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-768x256.jpg 768w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-Heroic-hearts-1536x513.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1884px) 100vw, 1884px" /><figcaption>Heroic Hearts Project &amp; Military.finance</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The next steps of this giving initiative is to launch an NFT collection in order to honor and preserve the <strong>US nation’s history</strong> while highlighting and supporting their heroes. Military.Finance has been able to establish partnerships with museums with artefact collections significant in military history.</p>



<p>There is another important aspect to this project, celebrating famous war veterans. The NFT collection depicting the heros will be produced including <strong>historical figures</strong> from the American army throughout time.</p>



<p>The role of these historical figures will be in the opportunity to collect them and view their conversations in contrast to the problems facing North America today.</p>



<p>And in addition to these important figures, another collection will be entirely dedicated to USA Presidents..</p>



<h2>The US Presidential NFT series</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="600" height="338" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/military-finance-george-collection.gif" alt="military finance george collection" class="wp-image-9403"/></figure></div>



<p>This collection will begin with <strong>George Washington</strong>, the first president of the United States with the other presidents following in chronological order. The &#8220;<a href="https://www.military.finance/george-nft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">George&#8221; collection</a> will be launched on October 31st, 2021 and will include several elements:</p>



<ul><li>Authentic digital designs</li><li>Complicated animations</li><li>Unique off-line components</li></ul>



<p>The <strong>offline content</strong> will take the form of a limited edition book, the printing and framing of an NFT, a collector&#8217;s item and a Bobble-head.</p>



<p>There will also be benefits for buyers, although the main beneficiaries will be the soldiers and veterans who need them. First of all, there will be an opportunity to talk with a <strong>Major influencer</strong>, but also Custom Swag and Premium Content.</p>



<p>It is important to know that having a George NFT will:</p>



<ul><li>Guarantee $MIL tokens, from 100 Million Up to 1 Billion $MIL Tokens (unlock</li><li>amount after NFT purchase)</li><li>5% Buy and Burn of $MIL</li></ul>



<p>So there should be other types of benefits with future collections to come. If you have more questions about the project, don’t hesitate to go to their social networks so they can answer them!</p>

<p> <a href="https://oncurio.com/?utm_source=nonfungible" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Curio</a> is a premier NFT platform partnering with the biggest names in entertainment. Whether you’re a crypto-native or have never purchased an NFT, Curio makes it easy to participate in and build <strong>NFT collections</strong>. Curio’s mission is to leverage the power of blockchain to connect fans to the artists, characters, and stories we know and love.</p>



<h2><strong>How Curio is connecting with fandoms? </strong></h2>



<p>Curio has brought storytelling and fandoms of <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/heavy-metal-first-nft-collection-magazine-covers-on-curio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">traditional entertainment</a> and brought it to the metaverse. While NFTs are often created as their own entity and community, NFTs can be used to engage new <strong>mainstream communities</strong> based on their familiarity and utility. </p>



<p>There is great potential for expanding fandoms through the use of NFTs and Curio’s only begun to scratch the surface on opportunities in this space. With a <strong>fan first mindset</strong>, here are a few of the ways Curio is connecting with the NFT community through increased outreach in IRL and via our partnerships this month:&nbsp;</p>



<h3>NFT.NYC</h3>

It’s not every day fans can translate the metaverse to an IRL event and NFT.NYC is one of the first <strong>big NFT events</strong> Curio is participating in to meet fellow community members and fans. </p>



<p>Not only is Curio hosting a booth inside the conference but collaborating on an event with <strong>Knights of Degen</strong> and <strong>NFT Redzone</strong> for a night of entertainment and gaming at<strong> Slate NYC</strong>. During the event, Curio will engage live with the broader NFT community and announce exciting new projects to the NFT world. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nft-nyc-monday-knight-football-tickets-191328928977" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RSVP HERE</a></p>

<p>Topps is one the most recognizable trading card companies in the world and Curio has partnered with them on one of their most iconic collections, <strong>Mars Attacks</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Topps released the original Mars Attacks <strong>trading card</strong> series in 1962 featuring illustrations by artists <strong>Wally Wood</strong> and <strong>Norman Saunders</strong>. The cards follow a science fiction plot of a Martian invasion of Earth with scenes of battles and attacks with humans and martians.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The series was both an instant classic for its timely depiction of fears around<strong> war and conflict</strong>, as well as controversial for its graphic images of combat. The iconic imagery has been immortalized in card rereleases, comics, film and <strong>popular culture</strong> for decades and is now recreated as collectable NFTs.</p>



<h2><strong>The next stratosphere of fandom</strong></h2>



<p>Curio recognizes and appreciates the appetite of diehard <strong>fandoms</strong> and <strong>communities</strong> in the NFT market and is always looking to expand and amplify. Curio seeks to onboarding the <strong>broader public</strong> as well as the crypto native community to journey to <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/curio-unleashes-new-power-of-fandom-to-nfts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the next stratosphere of fandom in the Metaverse</a>.</p>

Curio is going to the NFT.NYC this year! This will be the opportunity to connect with them during this big event. 

How Curio NFT is connecting with fans?


<p>This year more and more <strong>luxury brands</strong> are showing an interest in NFTs. We have seen <strong>Burberry </strong>create skins for the game <strong>Blankos</strong>, <strong>Karl Lagerfeld</strong> create figurines and <strong>Dolce &amp; Gabbana</strong> their own collection of NFTs.</p>



<p>We can also mention <strong>LVMH </strong>and other major brands that have partnered to develop their own blockchain. All these elements indicate a <strong>strong interest</strong> in the world of luxury towards NFTs.</p>



<p>In this context <a href="https://exclusible.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Exclusible</a> has decided to launch their <strong>own premium marketplace</strong> in order to offer digital luxury content. Who is the team behind this project and what are the next NFT drops that will take place exclusively on this platform?</p>

<h2>What is Exclusible ?</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="453" height="543" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/what-is-exclusible.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9005" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/what-is-exclusible.jpg 453w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/what-is-exclusible-250x300.jpg 250w" sizes="(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px" /></figure></div>



<p>Faced with an increasingly <strong>connected public</strong> presence on social networks, the world of luxury and fashion has had to reinvent the way it <strong>communices to new generations</strong>. Even more so since the successive global lockdowns.</p>



<p>What was yesterday a <strong>purely physical universe</strong> has today been forced to adapt and innovate to be able to continue to offer products in the <strong>virtual universe</strong>. This innovation is Exclusible who intends to bring us this new world through their <strong>exclusive partnerships</strong> and an easy-to-use premium marketplace.</p>



<p>From the launch of the project, Exclusible secured funding of $2.2M to ensure this <strong>dream becomes a reality</strong>. Within two months, the project was able to not only surround itself with <strong>renowned advisors</strong> from the world of fashion and luxury but also <strong>experts </strong>who also joined the team.</p>



<p>The world of luxury covers many areas, which is why Exclusible decided to focus on four segments: <strong>supercars</strong>, <strong>watches</strong>, <strong>fashion</strong>, and <strong>jewelry</strong>.</p>



<h2>Presenting the Exclusible Team</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-9006" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team.jpg 1024w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team-300x169.jpg 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-team-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure></div>



<p>Exclusible&#8217;s current great strength lies in their <a href="https://next.exclusible.com/team/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">team of experts</a> who already know the secrets of fashion and luxury. Some advisors have joined their ranks but first, let&#8217;s take a closer look at who is in the <strong>core team</strong> of this project.</p>



<p><strong>The CEO : Thibault Launay</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="300" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-thibault-launay.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9007" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-thibault-launay.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-thibault-launay-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Some know him under the hat of the investment fund<strong> NFT Blackpool</strong>, Thibault is also an advisor for the <strong>OVR project</strong>. But he is also a great collector of NFTs as well as a lover of <strong>vintage collection watches</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>The CCO : Olivier Moingeon</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="300" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-olivier-moingeon.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9008" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-olivier-moingeon.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-olivier-moingeon-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Olivier holds a BA from <strong>GEM Business School</strong> and a Masters from <strong>Warwick University</strong> but his professional career is just as remarkable. Having worked for 18 years for luxury brands such as <strong>Cartier </strong>or <strong>Goyard</strong>, he also created &#8220;The luxury week&#8221; which reviews the trends of this universe.</p>



<p><strong>The CTO : Artur Goulão Ferreira</strong></p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" width="300" height="300" src="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-artur-goulao-ferreira.png" alt="" class="wp-image-9010" srcset="http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-artur-goulao-ferreira.png 300w, http://100.96.1.66:3001/app/uploads/2021/10/exclusible-artur-goulao-ferreira-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Founder and former CTO of <strong>Utrust</strong>, one of the largest crypto payment platforms, Arthur is above all an enthusiast of the blockchain and its ecosystem.

Exclusible and the future of NFT Luxury


<p>You may have seen the <strong>Heavy Metal</strong> movie from 1981 (or the remake in 2000). Or maybe you’ve been collecting the cutting-edge science fiction, fantasy, and horror <strong>comics magazine</strong> going back to its first issue in 1977.</p>



<p>Regardless, this brand has a storied history and has been the source material for incredible movies such as <strong>Blade Runner</strong>, <strong>The 5th Element</strong>, and more.</p>



<p>Today, these famous titles are coming to the <strong>Curio NFT marketplace</strong> (see <a href="https://nonfungible.com/blog/curio-unleashes-new-power-of-fandom-to-nfts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previous blog post</a>)</p>
